A good man joined our heavenly father. A man that was an uncle but more of a father to my love and my mommy n law. You taught him to be the man he is today and for that I will always be thankful to you. You we're nothing but kind and loving to those around you, most importantly your family. One memory I'll always keep in my heart is when you serenaded me like you said you would do with your baby doll. You we're always so strong & hard working but now you get to rest. Your words will stay in my heart always. You told me "We love forever," yes...we will Uncle Tony. We love you!

My family has been going to Carmens for years. Tony was always there with a smile. My daughter Viviana, who Tony called Vivian, was happy to see him and loved him very much. Our three kids were very saddened by the news but were happy to have known him. He will be missed by the Velasquez Family.
