Tony was born in Barcelona Spain on January 12, 1950, he was 75. He came to New York in 1984 with his family looking for a better opportunity in life. He is survived by his wife Loli, his sons Edison, Ricardo, and Jose, his daughters-in-law Rosa and Vivi, his grandchildren Sebastian, Anna Lucia, and Leo, Sister-in law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. He worked all his life as an auto body man, and in 1992 he formed his precious business with his whole family Tony & Sons Auto Body. After 33 years his legacy is still going strong. He would rarely take a day off, even lately with his oxygen machine over his shoulder you could see him walking around making sure everyone was working. He was a wonderful man, always there to give a hand, advice or an order to get to work. He will be missed always by family, friends and customers To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Tony, please visit our Tree Store.

Tío mío! Qué vacío... estoy tan triste de perder un amor verdadero. De perder a quién tanto dio! Te echo de menos!
Tu sobrinica querida.

Tony, when we met for the first time you told me that I am now one of your sons, a new member of your strong family, from New York to Barcelona and with me, also extended to Germany from that moment on. Without even knowing you before, I knew that you are special, and not just because Karen told me a lot about you.

Special how deep you love your wife, your kids and grandkids and everyone in the family. Special how you loved your life, to the fullest. I knew that from that moment on, you will be special, forever in my heart and mind.

Without blinking with an eye you gave me the keys to one of your cars to get bagels and coffee when we came over or even going wherever I wanted. You trusted me. I remember your fantastic Tortillas you made for us, the jokes you made about everything that came into your mind and I remember your calmness and your satisfaction, when I met you one day very early in the morning in your kitchen, on a Sunday, when you left for work to "check" if everything "is ok". This is were I joined you and took that picture and I am grateful that we could share that moment together.

I saw and felt your feelings immediately, you were happy, you were proud, you were grateful, of everything you've achieved in your life. Your business, your family, everything, in New York, and Barcelona. I think about that moment every time I wear the Toni & Sons T-Shirt you gave me that day. A tremendously proud and bold life, curious, adventurous as you are, and always full of love. Love that was and is unconditionally, big enough to carry everyone around your everywhere forever. Thanks for everything Tony, I will miss you.

Toni, me parece increíble que pueda ser verdad que ya no estás aquí con nosotros. Ahora trato de recordar y guardar con todas mis fuerzas tu voz, tu risa y tus bromas en mi memoria para que no se borren nunca, nunca y así puedas estar más tiempo conmigo y con nosotros. No puedo creer aún que ya no estas. Tu eres como el Óraculo, que no se ve, pero siempre está en todo, siendo el conector, el cuidador de todas y todos en tu familia y la familia extendida - y si hablamos de generosidad eres la personificación completa de la palabra. Gracias, gracias y gracias por haber existido, por dejarme ser tu sobrina y por ser mi tío favorito. Por ser irrepetible. Por ser tu. Te quiero infinito. Tu sobrina Karen.
