My "Cuddy" (our favorite words for our cousins) words can't express how much you are missed. You loved your family with all of your heart and we felt it. Whenever we were together it was non stop laughing and hisiding on everybody like old times. Your voice was like no other and no one could compare to it. We will mourn you until we join you. Until then we will forever hold it down for Lil Tony. I love you Cuddy. RIL

From the very first time I heard about your passing 2 years ago, I've been trying to piece that part of my heart back together. Not because of the way you died, but because of all of the possibilities that could've been. I have never met you; but, the lasting imprint that you left behind for our generation will keep you here for generations long after this generation. You'll never really be gone because you'll forever love in the hearts and minds of those who love you. Rest for now, cause when I get there, You'll have to share the mic with me . Peace

The very first time I watched the group videos, I instantly feel in love with Hi 5. It's been ten years perhaps since the passing of Tony and your music still put me in the place where I was back then.. And even though I never met Tony, he was like the cute kool dude in school who would break out singing when the class was quite.. Lol.. Tony would have been the age I am today (75 baby) so we grew up together so now I'm leaving for the Thompson family peace, courage strength and faith and may the lord bless you all... Peaceful Rest Tony.
