Will miss you Uncle Tony. Love you

My most memorable time with Uncle Tony was the vacation to Tennessee. The boys were in Mom and Dad's car, the girls in the camper UT was driving. We came to an interchange and Aunt Mary is telling him to go the way Paul was going. Uncle Tony didn't and we got lost. When Uncle Tony realized his mistake he looked at Aunt Mary and said" Look what you made me do"! Then he stuck his tongue out the side of his mouth. When we finally met back up I told my Mom that I never wanted to ride in his camper again.LOL! I'll never forget his tongue biting and I will miss it. But I have good memories of Uncle Tony. He was my Dad's best friend. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.
