I went to high school with Tony. I would always stop and talk with him every time I would go to Walmart. I had not seen him for a while and ask one of the people in the sporting dept. where he was. I just found out today. I was shocked to hear that he was gone. I am so sorry for your loss. Tony was a great guy and will be missed by all that knew him. May you rest in peace my friend.

To Tony's family and friends, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know he will be greatly missed. Tony was a great guy and I'm really going to miss his joking and teasing at work. He was a lot of fun to be around.
