No words of sympathy can or will ever express how I feel over the loss of MY Tony. Tony will always be loved and remembered by EVERYONE who knew him.
Tony's compassion;
Tony's humor; Tony's honesty;
Tony's commitment; Tony's love of people; of course Tony's willingness to go the extra mile for all of us as well as Tony's joy at watching us grow.
Wow what a MAN!
T. J. you must remember, Tony's happiness at watching you mature into a young man should be emulated by all fathers.
Missy, Tony's love for you we all know is/was unconditional.
As I say good bye to MY Tony, I am reminded: What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us. -Helen Keller
Rest in Peace, MY Tony Peace & Love
