Tony was my uncle, and he was a one of a kind sort of guy. He was funny, had a great smile, and a milion dollar sort of personality. His swag and charm were legendary. I hadn't seen him in a very long time sadly, but the last time I spoke to him I will remember forever. Tony was a stand up guy and a straight shooter. A man's man, the variety lost in a forgotten time. The world is a lesser place without my uncle, but heaven is definitely much greater with him there. He is undoubtedly in fine company. I will not mourn his death, but instead cherish his life. That is without a doubt what he would have wanted. God speed uncle Tony, until the next life. I am confident to see you again at the table with a deck of cards, and a frosty glass of ale cracking that million dollar smile. This is the way.
