Marg and I looked forward to visiting with Tony and Judy when we returned North from S.C. They were
interesting in lively conversation and sincerely warm
in genuine friendship.They brought vitality , guidance and stability to the community. We
considered them true friends! Tom and Margaret.

When I remember Tony, I think of a smile and quick laugh (and maybe a golf club). I can't think of a better legacy. He was loved, he will be missed, and he will be remembered. It saddens me that I will not be with my family today to celebrate Tony's life, but know that I am with you in my heart.

As a kid and a teenager, I lived only two blocks away from the Rogers. Their door was always unlocked, and I spent a lot of time in their basement, laughing, watching sports, and being coached by Mr. Rogers about life. There´s nothing he wouldn't do for you.

Tony was our friend and neighbor at Belantrae Green in Florham Park. An active member of the homeowners' association, he was a true leader. More than that, though, he was someone who could always be counted on. We moved from Belantrae several years ago, but still considered Tony a friend-- one who will be missed by many. Our sincere sympathy to Judy and the
family. Tom and Margaret Meys
