My thoughts and prayers are with you all. While serving with the Air National Guard which was located almost in his back yard, I can remember Tony would often pay us a visit trying to get something fixed. or give us a "good' deal on something he was selling. I have fond memories of all those years and my only regret is not stopping by and see how he was doing.

So sorry to learn of the passing of 'Big Tony'. I regret not being able to attend his services. My fondest memories of growing up were in Marion. Every weekend I would wake up to his laughter, singing or good natured ribbing. He was a very special person to me. He worked hard and had fun doing it. I've never eaten a cherrystone without thinking of him and those wonderful times. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his entire family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
