Tony was always a pleasant man. I remember when his "spot" was on M-4, before the power plant was built, I was happy he didn´t move out of the area. He brought out the kindness of strangers, he always appreciated others kindness towards him. To whoever posted this, thank you for caring for Tony. We will miss him!
