I am very sorry for your loss. For many years, Tony helped me set up a health insurance policy. He always found me a great policy that I could afford, and he made the entire process incredibly easy for me. He was also very patient in explaining the terms, premiums, etc. I last saw Tony about three years ago at Panera Bread in Vandalia. Interestingly, I had Tony's wife, Mrs. Elkins, as my 6th grade teacher in 1979-80 at Vandalia Elementary. It happened to be her very first year as a teacher. My thoughts and prayers are with Tony's family, friends, and work associates. He was a very good man.
