God Bless you Tony, sending prayers for his wife, children, Grandchildren & Great Grand Children. Tony was my Foreman at OPM Pre Department. One thing was true about Tony he was a Straight Shooter. I loved when I would run into him at the PAV, we would always talk about the Good Times at OPM & also the Not So Good Times there too.
Rest In Peace my friend.
