Tony Phene Ponter

I always enjoyed being with Uncle Tony. He was funny and always had a joke for me. I loved him very much and I will miss him and Aunt Olva.

What can I say but that I had 76 years of love from my brother. We had so much in common. We could talk for hours about a book, particularly history, and he taught me to love western movies which I still do. But most of all, I loved him for the good man that he was, the wonderful husband for 64 years, the good father and the devoted grandfather. He left a heritage of good works to Randy, Chad and the little girls. He loved them all.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Tony and Olva. I have so many fond memories of them. Olva and I have shared a lot of good times together. Randy has lost a good mother and Vick has lost a great brother. Tony talked about his sister a lot.

Tony,

I am so sorry to hear about the lose of your parents. We think about you often here in the lab. We often refer to your ways and philosophies on making petfood. May God bless you and your family.
