I send my condolense to the Mcclure Family. It had been a long time since I seen Tony....We met in middle school and he was a character. I'm sad because I didn't think that the only time I would see him again would be in these circumstances. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to such a beautiful person. He will always be my friend.

To the McClure family, I met Mr. McClure when he was first released. I called him McCleezie. He was one of my favorite clients and i will miss him dearly. McClezzie was a very honest, straight forward, and funny man. He demanded respect but he also gave respect. while he was in our facility i enjoyed coming to work, i would mess with him because when i would leave at night he would be in front of the television, when i came back in the afternoon he was still in front of the television. I would often ask him if he ever slept. I will miss him telling me "IT'S A WRAP" my condolences go out to your family. Miss you McClezzie always Miss Joi

I just wanted to send my deepest condolences out to the family. In this time of sorry, don't reflect on the pain. Reflect on the good memories that you have of Tony.

Lawanda Newton,
Bo I just want to tell you how mush I love you and always will. You were my everything. I appreciate the times we shared - the times where I witnessed you interacting with my children, helping them with their homework and just being a male role model. You truly were the best man I've ever met, the only man who could ever make me happy. I will forever remember you Bo, and you will always hold a special place in my heart! To Ms. Mclure thank you giving me the opportunity to meet a wonderful man - he truly was. My heart goes out to your entire family.
I LUV YOU BO!

Rely not on your own understanding, Trust the Lord, for only he knows.
Larissa, my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Bozak will not be forgotten. Our memories of him will soon have victory over our tears.

To the McClure family,
My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Growing up in "The Gardens" we were all family, I spent many days over Miss Gail’s house playing cards, four square, or dodge ball with Larissa. Tony was always around being his outgoing self, so full of life and energy.
Miss Gail, Larissa and Tyrone, Tony has moved on to Glory, but his spirit, is still here in each of you. Hold on to God’s unchanging hand and he will guide you through.
Much love,
Henry Holloway II

McClure Family,
My heart goes out to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Tony "Bozack" was my brother and friend. He will truly be missed. When I heard what had happen it was like my heart sank I never thought that watching the news would make me cry. I can't believe that you are gone bro, one day you and I will see eachother again, and you will greet me with that deep "What up Bro", Man I am going to miss that.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Ms. Gail and the entire McClure family, I am so sorry for your loss. Bo and I have been good friends for over 12 years, we called ourselves brother and sister. My kids also loved him very much, we will miss him. I know you loved him, but God loved him best and we don't always know the answers as to why this had to happen, but at a time like this we must trust the Lord for guidance. Me and my family are available to you for anything you need in your time of grief.
Love,
Sherry,Tyler,Tia and Phat Daddy

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I knew Tony also known as Bozack. Bozack was not only a close friend in the family, he was a part of the family I would call him my brother before I call him a friend. I've known him since I was 15 years old and I'm now 27. My prayers are with you and your family. I LOVE YOU BOZACK AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. TRINA AND THE HALE FAMILY

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
John 14:27 (NIV)
My belief is that God will provide Tony's family all they comfort that they may need to get through these dark days! Tony was a good friend not only to myself but to my whole family, the memories of his life will keep him alive in our hearts forever!

But give you'll the comfort to remember the person he was....And may the love you'll have for him carry you through this difficult time.
