My deepest sympathy to the Plitnik family. I am sorry I never had the chance to meet one of my grandmother Margaret's (Margaret Rose Plitnik Hiser Tall)brothers. What a life time of wonders and the generations we all share. May you each find peace throughout this sadness. Love from all of us to yours,

the genius of Tony's artwork lives on in the many sea chests, rocking chairs, all of the amazing work he loved and gave to children and others. An amazing man has passed.

I am sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I have many good memories of your family, Marilyn. Great pictures when your dad took us out on his boat. I just explained the penguin carving artwork to my daughter Ashley the other day, the piece that Tony custom made for us. My grandchildren like the penguins. It hangs on our large wall in the family room. It has always been a very special piece to me. My condolences to your entire family. Deb Jones and Dave Folkman
