7 years fella. How does one say the right words? Through adversity and places on life, a guy can remember wonderful moments of the past. You and have a couple. I know you've been looking upon many of us. Thank you. So much to share and not the right time. As had been said. You were one of a kind and your leaving us didn't go un noticed. You brought bonds and classmates closer. Its been a privilege to speak your praises and the ceremonial shot at The Class Of 89 gatherings. Rest Easy Pal. Much Love , Aloha and Mahalo, Jon

Tony, You are one of a kind and I will always remember your antics. I will never forget the box load of 'bitter melons' from your Dad on many Fridays that I was homebound. You are missed very much.

Tony... such a beautiful person. His eyes sparkled with joy, as a teenage chemistry student learning to create in the lab! Just knew he had found his niche!

There are no words to describe the shock and sadness! Taco, to me means "fun silly and gracious". I am regretting that I never got to tell you good bye. A gentle reminder not to take people we love for granted. - A person that never had a unkind thought in his heart. I will keep you your family and friends in my prayers and be gracious that I knew you! Rest in love and peace "Taco"...

You taught me so much, you gave me so much, I've never laughed with anyone like I laughed with you. I can't call you my friend, I call you my brother. A piece of me is gone and I'll never get it back. I love you so much and I will never ever forget you or the times we shared.

Taco, Hearts are grieving all over the world - you are so loved, adored and missed. Once we met in Wilmington, we were quick friends and buddies. Thank you for taking me under your wing and being my confidant. I'm grateful for the time we had together as roommates, for your quick wit and humor, your gracious cooking (and up cleaning afterwards!), and so much more. I will forever cherish the good times and all you taught me. I miss you so much and know you are looking over all of us now. May you rest in love, light and peace. May your light and joy of living be present in all who knew you.

To Nina and the Santos Family, my deepest condolences to you. God broke the mold once Tony was born and you are feeling that loss more than any of us. God bless you all.

Miss you, Boo!

My Takeda coworker and dear friend. You leave a large void on this earth, one that can't ever be filled. You touched so many of our lives in so many ways. We hope you can feel all the love we have for you. See you on that big island in the sky one day.

Tony,
You are by far one of the most amazing people I have had the fortune of knowing. I met you at Takeda. The first time I met you you were adding powdered caffeine to your coffee. I was intrigued. That feeling never ended. You moved out to Hawaii with Ryan and I. You are the BEST roommate a girl could ask for. I learned so much about cooking and life from you. You always knew how to kick back and chill but still accomplish all life has to offer.
I cannot comprehend that you are gone. I am getting by by thinking your are currently watching over everyone.
We hope to send you off well with a paddle out after your service.
We will always love you Tony. <3
