Tony was a great guy. We had some fun times on the road. We would go to Phoenix and visit his family there. From there to Temecula and visit there. The main portion of the trip was for Tony to be at Sharps hospital for his Parkinson's DBS adjustments in San Diego.
We would hit the Date Malt shops in Indio on the way back to Durango. Addictive stuff those Date malts.
We had fun times at the gym. Occasional movie trips.
Loved visiting the house with Tony and Lorraine. Had at least a million Hummingbirds out there. We have three feeders

Tony, I loved everytime you said "hi" to me at the gym. You were an amazing athlete and ARE a hero in the way you lived and died! Be good in Heaven, remember, Sant Claus is watching :)

Tony, I will miss your smile and encouragement . You were a good companion to have along in our journey with PD. In recent days, it was good to see you enjoying a game of cribbage. You really got a kick out of almost everything it seemed. You will be missed!

RIP Tony. For all the years I've known you at the gym, you were one strong physical dude. But how you battled back against Parkinson's over these past few years with the strength and determination of a champion, was more impressive than all the weights anyone could ever lift. You never gave up. And for that, you'll never be forgotten.
May your memory be a blessing to your wonderful family and all that knew you. Rest well my friend, Shelly

He was such a kind man with a heart of gold. From the first time I met him as a little girl, he treated me like family. My heart aches for all who knew him, he was a good man. Love, Suzie Sommer
