My deepest condolences to Tony's family and friends. Tony and I met in 1991 when I contacted him for photography lessons. Tony was an amazing photographer, teacher and friend. His influence touches me each time I pick up a camera and I am forever grateful.

Tony's passing is not a loss, but instead a time to celebrate his life. Knowing Tony through the years through Vince (Chuck) & Linda was a joy. He was a remarkable person that has left many marks on our Kansas City history. Blessing to you all!

The photo in the notices says it all about Tony...his sense of adventure and eagerness to share new experiences was inspiring. The fact that he shared so many with me was a privilege. I'll miss the beauty he brought to this world through his photography and humor.My sincere sympathy and prayers for the LaTona family.

Tony was always a dear friend and business colleague. In these last years, and our distance apart, I sincerely miss our outings and exchanges of tidbits about our friends and acquaintances. Condolences to the LaTona Family.
