Tony sold me my first insurance policy on my 18th birthday or shortly afterwards. Mom & Dad had policies with Western & Southern and made my sister & 2 brothers all take out a policy when we turned 18 or graduated from high school. I still have that policy and today it´s a paid up life policy. I even had a rider added in when our twin boys were born! We all enjoyed seeing Tony when he´d stop by the house Years later I´d see him at Holy Rosary or the Siebenbuerger Club.! He was always happy to see you & inquire how the whole family was doing. He´s now at peace with Dorothy & his entire family. To Jim Lisa Erica & all the family my sincerest sympathies. RIP Tony. You will be missed here on earth.

Tony was my mom's insurance agent for years. It was always such a pleasure when he would stop at our house, sit at the kitchen table, and chat for a while. It felt like he was a family member. My family has fond memories of such a nice man.
