Today while listening to all the nice things people said about you at your service it only confirmed for me what I already believed - today we said goodbye to one of the good guys. I will never forget the many times I came into my mothers kitchen at a family gathering to find you and my brothers or sisters laughing so hard some times there were tears in your eyes. As you crossed over I can only imagine my brother Mike, my sister Joan, Chuck Stormo, Ann, Jim Dawson and others saying here comes...

I feel very fortunate for the time I was able to spend with Tony and am especially thankful for the days working with Tony aboard the Barbara Jean/Bluechip. Those moments with Tony are responsible for some of my fondest memories. Whether it was prepping the boat, seining for salmon, or hauling in shrimp, Tony always made a hard day's work enjoyable.
I will always remember Tony for the sparkle in his eye, waiting for a story to tell.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to...

Tony came from "a pioneer family in commerical fishing", which made
Everett successful as other hard working families did many types of
operations. For example, Everett had large canneries, wholesale fish,
ice operations, many shippers, repair boat-yards, and the big fish by-products done by rendering locally. Gary Tapert (Everett, WA.)

We could not have asked for a better brother in law than Tony. He was an excellent uncle to our 2 sons. He taught them the art of commercial fishing which they still respect to this day.
Tony we will miss you always.
