What can I say about "Tone"? I have known him over 30 yesrd. I have never met a person so devout in his faith, and sicerely cared about what was bothering you or what you had to say. In hindsight, I was so very thankful to have seen him before his illness. The same smiling Tony. Arlene, and your family, please know my heart breaks for you all, he loved you all so very much. He is in his rightful place in heaven, knowing he will see you all again. Much love to you all.

I remember Tony and my dad going on a fishing trip by boat. A storm came out of nowhere and they both prayed to make it to shore. They did and laughed about it often. Tony you will be missed, tell Rita and John Hi.

Arlene and family, Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your husband and father. It's been many years since we have been in contact but I never forgot the "girl" who introduced me to Johnny Mathis (my all time favorite). God Bless.
