Tony you were absolutely charming. Your smile and laughter were so contagious that even now, a few years later, I can't help but smile when I think of you. You had so much love to give and my thoughts go out to everyone, especially your family, who gave their love and dedication in return. You were an amazing kid and it is an honor to have been able to watch the school bus ride off into the distance with you. You will be deeply missed.

Len and Laurie, We were blessed to have known Tony over the last four years, and Kiera was so fortunate to have such a wonderful housemate during her transition to living away from home. Tony was such a sweet, gentle and affectionate young man, and was truly loved in return by all who knew him. Your family will always be in our thoughts.

Although I had not seen Tony in a few years, he has and will always hold a special place in my heart. He was a blessing to everyone that met him whether it was just for a moment or like me, was fortunate enough to spend some time with him. He inspired us all to try to be better people. My heart goes out to you guys in these tough times.

I work with someone who worked with him and i'm told he was one of a kind. You were blessed for a short time with his love and smiles but know that he continues to smile down on you from heaven. God bless your family.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Tony. Those who knew him have nothing but wonderful thoughts and memories of him to share with those who didn't. Tony was obviously a joy to be around and brought inspiration and love to those who knew him. Remember Tony for who he was and all the things that made him, him. Remember the special moments that you shared and never forget. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and staff who had the pleasure of working with him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Tony for about 2 years when the house first opened up. I had such a great time. When I went to work it never felt like work because Tony always wanted to do something fun. Whether it was swimming, yoga, horseback riding, or going to Burger King for chicken nuggets he always had that contagious laugh. I truly will miss him.

Lenny & Laurie,
I hope you remember me from the gang of Mary, Glo, Nanci, Kym, Brian & David. It's been years since I've seen you or your children. I am so sorry for your loss. I do remember Tony way back then and he was a great kid then! So I can only be certain that he grew up to be a great teenager. I was so saddened to hear how he was taken to God and I have faith that your family will stay strong. Believe. Have faith. My prayers and sympathies.
