Dad..........You were to good to all of us.......often times.......neglecting yourself......You did it because you loved us all....You gave more than you had.....never expected anyting in return.......When I found out you were sick..........it was like someone took a knife edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul..........I'm glad you got to see my son.......I know thats selfish.....but from the time you got sick thats all I wanted to happen......you are a great man...and if my son had missed out that would have been a great loss..........but he got to meet you.....and he still knows your face........and for that I am thankfull......

I am very sad to hear about the passing of Tony. I worked with him at Walmart. I remember when he initially came in for his first interview- I was immediately impressed and drawn to his wonderful personality. He often spoke of his children and grandchildren, as he was so very proud of them all. He will definately be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless!

Till this Day when ever I am at the Cortez Blvd Wal-Mart store I think Of Tony.Along with your family and friends Tony will be missed by me and my son Mark. God Bless You and your Family.

Mrs. McBride and Family,
I will always carry very fond memories of Tony within me. Tony was a very caring man and loved his family very much. He always had a way to look at the bright side of anything, even when the Eagles were not playing the way he thought they should be playing. I can only hope that my children will find friends in life like I did with Tony.

Mrs Mcbride and Family,
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Tony. He was a great man and was loved by everyone. I loved talking with him for hours. He would talk in great length about his Family, Church and old police stories. I always loved to hear how he would volunteer his son and friends to help with yard work for someone at the church. Tony was always willing to give advise and when my first child was born he told me that if I wanted my kids to grow up and be successful you have to: 1. Get them involved in the church and have them make friends with families with similar values. 2. Show interest in what your children our interest in.3. Strict curfews - always be there to pick them up when it is time for them to go home. 4. Volunteer them to help less fortunate people. 5. Keep them so busy in activities that they will not have time to get in trouble. 6. If they ever fall always be there to pick them up.
This advise that he gave me is the cornerstones of how I am raising my children. There is not a day that went by that I did not hear how much he loved his wife and children and how proud he was of everyone of them.Tony was one of the most caring guys I have ever met, he will never be forgotten. God Bless Mark Earl & His whole Walmart Family

Jimmy,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad, from Noele. I know it's a huge loss and I'm not going to tell you it will be OK. However, I will say that you should never forget any of the times you two shared...it will give you strength when things seem too hard to handle. Take care and I hope to see you soon!

xoxo,
Audrey

Uncle Mick was a wonderful man. My family has been very blessed to have had him in our lives. The entire McBride family are in our prayers. He will forever hold a special place in our hearts. May he rest in peace.

Did his duty every day.
Trying to protect us,
Till they took his life away.
And when he got to heaven,
St. Peter put him at the top.
An angel asked him,
"Who was that?"
And he said, "Aw, just a Cop."

He will be missed by those he served with in the Philadelphia Police Department and our 1200 CopNET members would like to extend our sincere condolences for your lost.
