I'm so glad Renee could represent the LeFavre side of the extended family at the service. Please know that the rest of us reminisced about our time with Tony, had a few laughs, and toasted his life from afar. God rest his soul.

Words can not express the saddness I feel. He was a wonderful man and friend. We kept in touch after I left there as property manager. He was a true gentleman and a delight to know.
