My heart goes out to Tony´s family. I have known Tony since we were young , when he still lived in Marion Ohio . spent a lot of time in our neighborhood with his brothers and all the other neighbor kids hanging out or playing hide and seek, we called it "Go to court". Tony came back when he got older for a visit and made sure to stop by the old neighborhood for a visit and I was so happy to see him.
He would post things about never forgetting the kids you knew when you were younger and he was right.
I will never forget him and the memories we made.

I knew Tony from MSA. He was an assistant manager and a wonderful one at that! Tony was considered, kind and could be stern or good for a laugh. He had the " privilege" of taking me to Urgent Care one day and we had a discussion on him staying. I won! He went back to work That´s the kind of person Tony was. I know in my heart he is with his Lord and Savior. We talked about that some too.
Chauntee, thank you for allowing me to wish Tony a happy birthday and for helping him sign that book. Prayer for comfort and peace

I had the opportunity to see Tony at our 10 years class reunion. He has always had a great sense of humor and his kindness was infectious. May he rest in eternal peace. Wade Hampton High School Class of 91.

Me and my brother Tony. I have more memories than pictures. You are loved and missed. I was just thinking last night on how I would call you and ask you a question. And you would tell me let me check into what ever it was. And you would call back and we both would start laughing because it was something simple. And we would start making fun of whatever it was. I know I will never get to do that again. But I will have the memories and laughter of thinking about them. One day we will be laughing together again. I Love you Tony. Later man...
