Tony was a very big influence on me growing up. Like a big brother. With our late uncle Edsel ( Unc ) running interference between the two of us. As we got older we would only see each other on somber occasions, always promising each other we’d stay in touch. With him insisting on taking me hunting, which I never was a hunter but loved the meat. Saying “ Steve if you’re gonna eat the meat, boa, you’re gonna have to learn to hunt it”
I’m truly heartbroken to learn of his passing.

Tony and I worked together off and on from 1983 till my retirement in 2009. He was good worker and friend. We had a lot of laughs together on and off the job. Rest in peace brother you will be missed.
