I miss & love you so much Tony, it was a blessing to be in your presence it was NEVER EVER a dull moment. Every time something good happens to me I feel like it´s you looking out for me in heaven as you always did on earth. Still messes me up that I didn´t give you a hug that night even if we were playing around it was the last time I seen you and I´ll never get that chance again. Rest easy star

I remember when we used to have recreation at the park in Matawan. Tony had a big ole dirt bike that he used to drive up and down them train tracks. As a young in I always admired and looked up to him and his brother Mike. Michael being the calm one and Tony...well he was Tony....I have never met someone like Tony...he was a magnet that everyone was attracted to...im going to miss him and hope that his family and children remained blessed. I am humbled to have known a human being like Tony Gray. Peace be upon him.
