May it ease your sorrow knowing how many lives Tony has touched and enriched.

We met Tony in the 1970's at his auto shop in East Hartford. He has cared for our cars, and those of our three children throughout the years. Tony was an honest businessman, a community leader and a cherished friend. He leaves a legacy of quality workmanship and wonderful family life stories.

Victor is paying his father a great tribute by following in his path. We will miss Tony and carry his memories with us throughout our lives.

Always,
Gene & Barbara Mazur

I first became a customer in the late 80's/early 90's. In my time I bought 3 volvo's and twenty years latter Tony & Victor found me a 1996 VW Golf for my son for college. I inspected some homes & condo for Tony. Tony & I had many conversations about business & mutual friends especially Rich & Gail. I have been praying for Tony & know he is in heaven with Jesus.
