Out of all the memories we have of Uncle Tony (& Aunt Betty)Is the time we were asked to pick up all the apples in the orchard. If we picked up all of them, they would take us to the Y&W to see Cinderella!!! Looking back I could imagine how much they appreciated us picking up all those apples & how much we enjoyed going to the show with Uncle Tony & Aunt Betty
They gave us many memories as children & they will both be missed.

I was so saddend to hear of Anthony's death this morning. He was honestly one of my favorite people to come and see. He always made me laugh, especially when he joked with me about my toe-socks. Your family is in my prayers, and I will always remember Anthony's smile.

I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Tony's death. It was always exciting to me as a child when they would come down from the "big city" and visit. He was a very special man and he will be missed. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Cindy and Ray Smith Hume, Illinois
