Tony was a huge art of our lives....he was part of our family. We are so grateful that Tony came into our lives so many years ago. He immediately became our son, our brother, and our friend. Tony was always the kind of person that we could look up to, go to for support, or go to for a shoulder to lean on. He was an amazing person. Tony taught each and everyone of us something different. We know that he is finally at peace. We love you, Tony. We will miss you forever.
