May God bless the Calhoun family in your time of sorrow. Hold on to the memories. We went to grade school and high school together and Tony always kept a smile on his face. He always had a positive conversation. We feel blessed to have known him. Tony was one of the good guys.

I considered Tony to be a very dear friend of mine. I will miss our weekly telephone conversations and dinners at Golden Buffet. I spoke with him just two days before his passing, and he was in such good spirits - he would always speak of his childhood memories. Tony was a man of God, who knew the bible very well, and would often quote scriptures to me, which I found highly inspirational. RIP Tony - you are with God.
