The eve before Tony´s passing, unbeknownst to us, Jim Griffith, John Wigton and Jim Reynolds who shared many wonderful times with Tony at Holly Greens in Naples Fl, shared a drink with their wives to Tony. We were so happy to think about years with Tony and hoped his health was improving.
We knew Tony by a nickname - "Mr Pony" . We send our love to his beautiful family who we´d met over the years down in Naples! God Bless
