Read MoreI graduated with Tony from Haltom High School. Im' so sorry for this great loss for he was a good soul. When I think of him the first thing that comes to me is his great smile. He was always smiling and so easy going. The world has lost another good person that we need but God has his plans. My deepest condolences to Barbara and his family. All my love Barbara Carter

You will always be remembered sweet Cousin. I remember as children all of us getting on the swing out on the patio and it crashing but none of us were hurt. Your bologna, onion and ketchup sandwiches. Us playing in your Moms living room. I always thought that house was huge. I am so glad you have received your ultimate healing but the world was a better place with you in it. I know we will all see you again one day. I will try to carry on some of your legacy of caring for others while I am...

Man, I remember running into Tony and Barbara down at Northside many times, and not once do I remember them not having a smile on their faces and enjoying the time togehter.. He always spoke to me when we did see each other and always asked about my family.. He was a damn good guy and a great stepdad to my niece and nephew.. May God be with Barbara and ALL the Martin family during these tough days and weeks ahead..

What a sweet man! Always a smile. Barbara my heart hurts for you. You could always see the love in both your eyes that you had for each other. You reminded me of Ken and Barbie!! I know there was rejoicing in Heaven but that's hard to focus on with our hearts hurting. I pray for peace and strength for you and your family and pray you all will focus on the happy times. Take care and know we are here if you need us.

Tony was my cousin and I have some fun memories of childhood with him when my mom would babysit him. I never will forget him letting me pretend I was his barber out on the back patio. I didn't use scissors, I used a piece of wood. We kids had vivid imaginations? Once he even told me I cut it too short!!! He would always have mama fix him a bologna and onion sandwich...EVERY DAY at lunch. Nothing else, just bologna and onion. Tony will be missed. I know of some happy folks up in Heaven...

Tony, man what a great guy. He always showed up with a smile and never used his cancer as an excuse. When the Dfwhog group was doing fundraisers for charities he was always there to help. His legacy will remind me that excuses are just excuses and he always showed up. Barbara, my heart hurts for your loss of such a great man.
