We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We first met Tony and Nargis in 1974! Tony was a special friend when we were serving at JAARS, and transported our stuff, whether it was to Miami to go to Peru, or when we returned to eastern Oregon. He was always an encouragement to everyone!!! His work is done, and he's reaping his rewards!!!!

There is more to Tony than an obituary. I went to school with Tony and Nargis and they have served the Lord well. Tony used to drive truck around the country taking down the old telephone systems and setting them up in underdeveloped countries around the world. He was also a bush pilot. I am sure the good Lord welcomed him home with open arms.
