He was predeceased by sister, Patricia Hartford (Bernardini).
Tony owned and operated AAA Plumbing & Heating in Gray as a Master Plumber. He was a skilled gamesman that especially enjoyed hunting white tail deer, fishing for brook trout, and ice fishing Maine's lakes. He was an avid golfer that enjoyed competing with himself as much as he enjoyed competing with friends.
Those who knew Tony worked for Tony.

Tony was a great love of mine. His open heart, wild nature and wonderful ,free spirit will always be in my memory. I was so happy he found love and happiness with his wife and family. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
Tony was my very best friend in elementary school. He called me "Buckwheat."

So sorry for your loss Loree, Tony had the biggest heart. Lucca and Maddox adored him and talked about him all the time at the daycare. They are so lucky to have had such a good person in their lives, even if it was for a short time.
Tony always had a smile on his face, which we will remember the most about him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

I Admired Tony for his courage and sense of humor. The last time I saw him and spent time with him was @ my best friends camp Bobi Lopps his sister n law. About 2 months ago, his sense of humor made me laugh as he said to me deb I'll teach you how to be a camper, I said Tony, thank you so much for teaching me the outdoors and how to build a campfire, and then I told him what I did as a girlscout leader and captains daughter boating hiking fishing camping, then he said to me well I knew all this about you, I was just testin you. What a character he was, great father-grandfather brother n law uncle
and my friend.
This world was a better place with Tony in it. Sadly missed by all.
