Earl Felix Tonet

Coach Tonet--I will always be proud to admit being one of your FROSTY KIDS at Burgy High Basketball.

Earl, will always remember you as a great teacher, great coach, and a Special Friend. Bernie Bachand

He was one of my mentors, and I learned a lot from him. I miss both him and Lee. Harry Pomeeroy, WHS Class of '52.

Earl was a wonderful man. My father and I will miss seeing him and Lee at the Soldiers Home. Love and Prayers from the Charles Carr Family

Lee,
When I attended WHS , back in the days and classes of your sisters Doris and Shirley, we had little connection with Earl. I was always happy to see the two of you at the Blue Bonnet re-unions. I'm sorry for your loss. I still have pleasant thoughts of your Mother, brother etc. Keep your fond memories of Earl close to your heart especially during the coming holidays.

Love you dearly.
