I am deeply sorry for your family's loss. Tony was a friend of mine from early childhood. He was someone you could call on when you needed him no matter what time he would come. I will miss him. I had lost touch with him when I moved to Daytona Beach, Fl. He always would say to me "teach me some of that Kung-Fu" and laugh like crazy. He was a good man. I will miss him.
Sincerely, Steveie Mathews
