What a wonderful person. We nick name him "Eore" at our shop because of his easy going attitude and the way he rolled along with any job that was handed to him. Weather playing cards or working his sense of humor was great.
My heart and prayers go out to his friends and family. I know how much he was loved and will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Tony from another group here at the company, and he always was an absolute pleasure to work with.
His last words to me were in am instant message, and said, "Sweet, You're Welcome!"
That's the kind of attitude Tony always had at work -- helpful and enthusiastic.

I worked with Tony at Great Southern. He has always been so kind (even though he did his fair share of teasing me). I'll miss him and his big smile. Praying for his family and friends.
