Tony will always be a big part of my life, he always had a joke and made people smile. When He gave me a bicentennial ring I said that I would never take it off (that became the joke of the night.) I still have it. He truly had a special spirit.

Hey, I remember Tony from the old days, he and Deb introducing me to peeling shrimp, eating raw oysters, eating crawdads and of course the tours through bourbon street. And taking us to his mom's where she would not eat shrimp unless it was deveined. rest well, old friend....

Tony's personality was bigger than life, I am sure he is bringing lots of laughter in heaven. In the mid 70's he and Debi spent time in Michigan at our house and he cooked Fabulous food every day and kept our house filled with laughter! I will never forget his "Doctor Melvin" jokes and Mona Lisa. Although we have not seen him in years-these are the memories we will keep. Toni and the rest of the family are in our prayers.
