Thinking of you today, Tony. I remember our graduation from St. Joe's in 1969 as if it were yesterday. Always thought we'd have a class reunion for the 4 of us. You are missed! Would love your family to contact me.

Tony, I was a dear Polish friend of your sons and I remember hanging out with your wonderful son many summer days at your house in Elma, the memory I have of you is one summer afternoon I was at your house with Michael and you found out I was Polish so you went into your garden and grabbed some fresh horseradish handed and it to me and told me to eat it, so i did, you were always laughing and joking and you were such a loving man. Now you get to spend eternity with Jesus, see you again some day!

Happy Father's Day Dad!! Not a moment has gone by that I didn't think about you. I bought you a card the other day, and what I wanted most was to see you shake the card to see if money was going to fall out. It's those little things that I miss so badly.
If I had to choose a father, it would be you. We did not always get along, and I didn't always agree with everything you said, but I still respected you. They say that anyone can be a father, but only a real man can be a dad. You...

Happy Father's Day Tony!
Father's Day will never be the same without you. But, we will send balloons to heaven to show our love for you. You were the greatest husband and father. You took 2 children in and raised them as your own. Then came our grandchildren and you loved everyone of them and they loved you.
I miss and love you with all my heart. You are my soul mate and someday we will be together.
Love always and forever!

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

Four months ago today, we made the decision as a family to 'let you go'. It was by far the hardest and most painful thing to do... I will never really 'let you go'.
Your Joshua misses you so much and talks about you all the time. Jayden is getting so big and it saddens me that he will never feel the love that you gave him. He reminds us so much of you. He even does that thing you used to do... he'll sit with the blanket over his head and sleep. Just like you. Both boys remind me...
