Uncle Tony, I will always remember you when i was a child in Coleraine in the 60's. Walking up to our home in "The Heights" in your American Airborne uniform. Full of pride at what you had achieved in the U.S.A.. A great Uncle, always full of warmth,humour and wit. A true Killowen man, Even if you did sound like you were straight off the set of a Martin Scorsese film. I loved it.
Rest in Peace Uncle Tony.
You were the best.
