I don't even know where to begin. Tony was one of my dearest, dearest friends. There is a hole in my heart now that he is gone. I have so many wonderful memories with "T", so many inside jokes that only he and I shared. We were an "odd couple" of sorts, but God blessed me with this beautiful person -- who gave me the courage to grow and the strength to handle life's adversities. I am a better person for having known Tony. I find comfort knowing he is in a better place. A place where there is no more pain, no more sadness. He is with his beloved grandmother again -- he is listening to all his favortie jazz. I know he is smiling on us all! He will always be with me. I love you, T -- I will never forget you. Thank you for being my friend. Be happy, Tony -- rest in peace.

It was a shock to hear about Tony's passing. Tony will be missed by me and many many others. I will never forget that he gave me my nickname of "Abdul" after Paula Abdul. Also won't forget the sand volleyball games that we played together several years ago. He was a good guy and will be very much missed.

Dear all,

I can't tell you how very much each and every one of you have meant to me in the past few days. It's been beyond hard for me, the family and all of you who were also family. Thank you for your love, thank you for your prayers (they are felt) thank you for your stories. I am loving being reminded of all the nick names he gave everyone..... and everyone had at least one nickname.... maybe two. If you send me your email address I will be sure and get back with you after the funeral. Please continue to keep us all in your prayers and we will keep you also in our prayers. Love and hugs...

I will miss Tony's smile and wonderful sense of humor more than words can express, break time will never be the same without Tony there to call me his 'bully'. Rest in peace my friend, you will be sorely missed. I'll miss your hugs when I'm having a bad day too.

Your Bully... Jeanne

I was sadden to learn about the homegoing of a fellow Topeka High School classmate. I remember "Tony" as being an avid collector of music.

My thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with his family.

Just wanted to let all know that Tony and I attended night school at Washburn Univ. together and he was so great to escort me to my car and then I would drive him to his. Always wanted to make sure that I was safely to my car. Also it was fun to go convertible riding too at night!! Am sure the Lord has a special place for him.
