I am so sorry to hear of Tony's passing... I have so many fond memories of him and Anna. They were such great neighbors and had a garden right out of a magazine. Tony would say.with great pride"... we would like to share our garden with you..." It meant so much to us. We always loved and admired Tony's "spitfire" attitude... I was going to surprise him this week with steamed crabs ... I am so, so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered and I'll have a little smile on my face everytime I think of him...
