I still have a picture of Me and him and Chris Morgan in English class acting a fool as always. He definitley was one of the funniest folks I've ever known and I heard from a coworker about his passing a while back and it brought me to tears. I've known him for quite a while and to this day i still look at that picture i have and I know he's in a better place and remember the laughs that my homie provided.

Well here I am almost a year later. Words can not explain how much I miss talking to you. I know I would fuss more about our little girl but I can honestly say that we both miss you. The laughing, talking, & crying that we both went through. You were one of my best childhood friends & words can not explain how much love I have for you. We love & miss you Toney...

First may God bless the entire Starr family for the loss of a outspoken, energetic family member. I grew up with "Ralo" throughout my junior high, and highschool years at Shaw. What can I say, we had lots of fun together. For you all who didn't know that energetic side of him, he had this laugh that if a 100 ppl where standing outside. You would know it was him. Rest in peace my kinfolk "that's what he call everybody". My prayers are with you . JB

Tony was someone who kept me laughing, quick to pick up the tab after we used to shoot ball together, me him and brock everyday after school. I could say a lot more but those who knew him knew who he was as a person. He could def make everybody in the room laugh, I know yall remember his laugh! At any rate his soul rests with a higher power, he will surely be missed but never forgotten. Much love my man

Dear family and friends:

Heartfelt sympathy goes to you as become acclimated to this situation. I looked in the obituaries this morning, as I normally do, just to realize that "Starr" someone of whom I went to school with was present. I pray that God give you strength for I know that times like this are very difficult. I truly know that God will not put more on you than you can handle just allow him to take care of your needs and you will prosper.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Sylvia M. Tate
