To the family: We will be thinking of you often in your grief, and you have been in in our prayers since we heard he went to the hospital. We always felt Tony was not only a strong family man, but in addition one of the best fathers there ever was, anywhere, at any time. He seemed born for the role.

Tony impacted so many lives, from his Schneider co-workers, to the children he impressed as a school bus driver, or people affected by his selfless devotion to help causes that affected so many. He never looked for credit but always understood the bigger picture and did what it would take to the job done. It was that heart that made him such a great friend to everyone that knew him. It was that friendship that will leave such a void until we meet again. My only regret is that I didn't find more time to spend with him. Because it is quality guys like Tony that make life worth living, the sun seem brighter and with each day a reason to smile. I will sorely miss you friend.

I never met Tony but my good buddy Troy (Cave Man Troy) always told me about his little brother and all the cool, fun things he would do with his son Wyatt. He also would tell me about what a great kid his daughter Nikki is. It takes a lot of influence from a father to have a good family and with Tony's it really shows.

To Linda, Ron and Mary, brothers, sisters, children and grandchildren, words cannot express start to express my deep and sincere sorrow for your loss. Tony was a proud father, a loyal son and brother, and a devoted and loving husband. Family had a strong and deep meaning to Tony, always putting them first. To me he was a childhood friend who was always there for you, in good times and in bad. As we matured, our friendship grew strong and we shared many great adventures together, his love for the outdoors and his passion with motorsports were always evident. Tony was never too busy to lend a helping hand for those in need. A true friend to all who were fortunate enough to get to know him. My heart will always have a special place for his memory. God speed my friend, the Lord needs your compassion and strength with him now.
