Dear Cecil and the Girls,
I'm so sorry for your loss, when I heard about this today I was shocked and very disappointed that I missed the service.
Tony and I spent a few year hunting together and as I remberred visiting him at Redi-Chef working to help him out we became good friends.
I didn't see him much the odd time stopping in for a chip and talk a little, but the one thing I'll never forget is that how proud he was of all of you.
We'll Miss You Tony...

Dear Cecile and girls,
We have all been made richer by Tony and your family. We are astonished and saddened by his passing and can only offer to share your loss, to make the burden of your grief any lighter by spreading it over all of our shoulders.
Tony's smile was as legendary at FatT's and he passed that special ...legacy of his love and smile on to you. Whenever you will be able to share it again, his smile will truly live forever.
In the meantime, find comfort in his love for you, you for each other, look for it in the eyes of our creator and also in the arms in our community. Richmond is a very old, very small town and we mourn the loss of your husband, your father and our village leader. I know that the pain of loss is the price of love, and you will hurt, so badly, and then, eventually, smile in the face of the memory of his love for all of you.
Terry, Connie, and Mitchell steele

What sad and shocking news. Our whole family will miss Tony's presence at the chip stand and also in the community. He was always very friendly and interesting to talk to--always interested in different things about life. You could always bank on something different happening at the chip wagon lot--flowers, giant gourds, old farm implements, deer apples, etc. Cecile, you and the girls have been through so much. May God give you strength and help you find peace.

I never really knew Tony, but I know his girls. So ladies, stay positive, I know it's hard, it never gets easy... I've been there; so remember memories, stories, habits and quarks especially when times feel rough. Always remember that a daddy never wants to see his little girls upset and that he'll always be with you, protecting you. My sympathies and best wishes.

Dear Cecile and Children: My heart is aching. I will hold dear all the memories I shared at your home when we visited. I still remember when Mandy was a baby and Tony held her on his lap in your family room. I will always remember what wonderful, devoted parents you both were. Mandy is away at camp, she will be devastated to know her Godfather has tragically past. My prayers are with you and the girls. The pain now is unbearable, I know, I have lost three family members since we last spoke. God bless you for all that you have had to endure.
