Betty,
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Betty Ann, Nancy Jean and Stephen. Tony set a standard for what a husband, father, friend and neighbor should be. My comforting memories of Trenton St. picture a young man in a T-shirt offering advice and assistance while sharing his yard and hospitality. "A good man" sums up Tony's character.
