The Broadhurst family lived across the street from us on Valley View Rd. and Tony was very much a part of our neighborhood. I have one image that is still remains with me. It was always a summer evening and Skipper had the trunk of his car open with a golf club in hand. Skipper and I were very good friends. Tony was always there with us. Thanks for the memory. Rest In Peace Tony.

My deepest condolences to Tony´s family. I will never forget his bright smile that always lit up a room, seeing him bowl with his "Fairfield Crew" and spending time at his moms house. You will be greatly missed.

Tony is now reunited with his family were I know they are all happy and at peace . Tony was always amazing growing up . We would play out back at aunt Isobel house and sometimes we would go to the beach house swim build sand castles . I went with my grandmother and aunt joan and aunt Barbra to help when he was at the special Olympics. Visited with him at Broadhurst Manor , or when we would go to mimi's house for family gatherings tony was always funny and positive . Nothing ever slowed him down! Rest in peace , till we meet again.
