Kathy your dad was very special to Tony. He carved "Mr Guernsey" in his image playing golf which would soon become one of Tony's favorite hobbies and include all the usual suspects and friends of yours and Bart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom.

A great man who leaves the legacy of a great family. He will be truly missed while living on through those who knew and loved him. Our hearts and thoughts are with the family as they pass into acceptance and hopefully then grow into peaceful comfort, content in having been able to share their lives with him and the knowledge they'll be reunited with him again in the Lord's time.
