Here it is, 14 years since you left and it does not get any easier. I was quite fortunate to have been your friend. It is now more apparent than ever that you gave a gift in your early passing. It has taught me to relish the time I have with my family and friends and to tell those people that I love them. Still, I really, really miss you, Tony.

It's been a month ago. I still can't believe he's gone. I miss him terribly. I feel so sad for Weasel. She loved him more than all of us. I don't know what to say or how to say it. I just wish you didn't have to go, Tony. Man, I loved you so much. I'll always remember you fondly. Peace, out.

Tony touched each of us with a flash of his smile and a wisecrack. He was just plain FUN to be around.I think a part of me died last sunday when I heard the news of his passing. The world was definately a better place when Tony was in it. Goodspeed, my Buddy!

Tony was my Best Friend. He was Best Friend to many. I lost a very close and dear friend I can not measure the love I had for this fine man. There is a huge hole in my heart where my soul used to be. Louise, I am so profoundly sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine the deep anguish you are going through. I will miss him terribly. I was lucky for the time I got to share with him. It was always a good time. Good-bye to my twin-brother-from-another-mother...There's that insurmountable Giggle, followed by "Yeah, Yeah,...Up yours !...

I love you, Tony. I still tell you every morning and before I go to sleep at night. I would like to let you know, in the words we often said to each other..."you are still the best time I've ever had." You have my heart forever..it's not such a very long time until we're together again, I'm sure. You are so irreplaceable...a definite one of a kind. I only hope you now realize how many people' slives you touched and how many pepole love and miss you. I was so lucky to have such a good man and loving father as my best friend and husband. Baby, you were and are THE GREATEST!
Forever Yours,
Your Wife

The WORLD is a less funny place than it was when Tony was here. My heart is absolutely shattered. I have a huge hole where my soul once was. I can not find the words that adeqately describe the incredible loss that I feel. He was my Best Friend. He was Best Friend to many. I am so very sorry for your loss, Louise. I will never get over this one. I loved Tony as much as another person could possibly love someone. He is probably saying, "yeah, yeah..., Up Yours !"(hee, hee,hee..." Man, I miss him.
Bobby.

I havent quite gotten over the phone call about what happened. I remember when Louise first introduced us, and I said to her something like' Who was that cornball?" She laughed, and I knew immediately that you were a perfect match for her. You were a good, generous man, you opened up your home to me without hesitation when I needed a place to hang out, or sit up late and have a beer. We spent many nights up late talking over things , ever so often you could hear Lousie sneaking down the hall and peering around the corner rolling her eyes at us... Everybody is sure gonna miss you man... and even tho Ive moved a few thousand miles, and time has passed, it was always good to hear your voice on the phone when I called to chat with Louise. So as poets do... I sat and wrote somethign for you to try to make some sense out of why you left so soon... It was all I could do, but somehow you were so much larger than life than those words could express...Ill miss ya man.
Love ya

It has been an honor and a privilege to have Tony in our lives. He was a good hearted man, never had a mean word to say about anyone and in tense situations, he also knew how to break the ice and make everyone laugh. Tony lived life to the fullest and he will be greatly missed.

There are just no words to describe this loss. You are a wonderful man, who will be greatly missed here. You had so much to teach Nicholas and Kimberly. They so looked forward to going to the "gold town" with Grampy Tony. We will still go, and think of you while there. It won't be the same, but we go knowing you would have wanted us to. We love and miss you.

Thank you so much for being there and teaching me how to be a man. I hope you know how important you have been to me. I will never forget what you have taught me. I will never forget how you were so good at turning everything into a positive, and made everyone feel good.
Thank You,
I love you.
