Greg and Debbie, your dad Tony and my mom Felicija were related through your maternal grandmother Edna and my maternal grandfather Antanas (also a Tony) Bacenas. They had different mothers, so were have brother and half sister. That would make your dad and my mom 1st cousins and we are 2nd cousins. My family still lives in Canada. Both your grandmother and her sister Mary came to visit in 1960, when my grandparents were released from Siberia and allowed to emigrate to Canada. Great aunt Edna...

Tony has been a friend and inspiration since I met him in 1994 at the West Y. We both loved old Cadillacs and talked about several topics over the years.

His positive attitude was always uplifting...our recent visits were really special.

The YMCA is a better place because of Tony.

I will miss him along with the folks at the Y.

Debbie,

I will always remember your Dad as the whistling mailman. He would always deliver the mail with a smile. Sorry for your loss, he lived a great life.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is always so very hard to lose a loved one in death and our loving Heavenly Father is very aware and understand your painful loss. He will listen to your prayer and pay attention to your pleas for help because he is near to all those calling on him. He will hear your cry for help and give you comfort. Your family and friends have my deepest condolences. (Psalms 86:6-7)
