Words cannot express the emptiness that is in our hearts in this time of sorrow. Tony was the best friend my son Josh could ever have. They were always there for each other, everyday for many years. Tony became a friend to my daughter Paige and her friends as well. We are all fortunate to have had Tony in our lives. He will remain in our hearts forever. RIP Tony.

Tony was Joshua's best friend for long as I can remember. It was always-Tony and I did this or that. He always had a smile on his face and gave 100 percent on the ball field. He was like Paige's big brother and watched out for her. I can not express how much he is going to be missed. May God bless all of his family. Rest in peace Tony.

Theresa and Mike, we are so saddened for your loss. Albeit we did not know Tony we're Sure He Lived for Others..."He volunteered his time with VOSH (Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity) in Jamaica and Guatemala." Helping his fellow man/woman...there's nothing more significant.

May your grief be short and all the great memories be long (lasting).

Sincerely,
