To Tony's family and dear friends and neighbors,

My deepest sympathies to all of you. I'm so lucky so have been counted among Tony's friends -- he was the best you could ever have. He touched many people who knew him, for good reason. His character,good humor, integrity and kindness made him truly inspiring; a role-model to many who will be missed terribly.

To Tony's Family
So very sorry to hear of your loss. I had the pleasure to work with Tony many years ago at Frito Lay he was always a good friend and a true Gentlemen. I would run into him every now and then around the lake and he was always smiling and took time for a little chit chat. He will be missed. Rest in Peace Tony.

To Tony's Family - I was lucky enough to form a friendship with Tony over the past 5 years at Krogh's, where I would wait on him. He would get the same thing every time. He always had a smile on his face, always asked about my husband who is in the Army, always showed me pictures of his grandkids, and had raffles for the local VFWs. He was always smiling and genuinely cared about others. He will be missed.
