With this I say goodbye to my childhood best friend's father. Someone I looked up to years ago as a friend to me himself. To the others close to him, especially to Truli, my deepest sympathies. I wish I could be there to support you in your time of grief.

Tony,
You will be forever missed in so many ways. You have touched the hearts of many people. I remember the day I met you and was introduced to your son Junior he was so shy and cute. I could not wait to have you both in my life. I could not get over how red his hair was and his freckles. Then on July 12, 1975 we were married in DeKalb Illinois in a private ceremony with family and friends. I will always remember the special songs you made for the kids and your voice when singing them. I...

Tony was the only father I have ever known. I thought the world of this man who took us in as small children and raised us like his own. I will always regard Tony as my father. I love you Dad.
