Tony was always so fun and nice. I remember sneaking out in the middle of the night walking the railroad tracks with some friends and meeting up with him at another friends house. We had the best time. He was handsome, fun and a good dude. Akron Ohio will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to Tony's entire family especially his wife Peggy whom he spent the last 13 years with. My brother-in-law truly lived life to the fullest. He never met a stranger, he had a heart of gold, would give you the shirt off his back and the bond he had with Peggy was simply amazing. If ever the term "Soul Mate" applies, it was definitely Tony and Peggy. He will be missed by many.
