I was very shocked and saddened to hear about Tony. I know him through work at Philip Morris. I work on H1 on C shift, so I usually saw Tony every day and would talk to him when I worked over. The last lengthy conversation we had, I remember he talked about his kids and grandkids, and Linda's good cooking. I could tell he was crazy about his family. He also talked about his vacations and travelling and what his next trip was going to be. He was always friendly and upbeat and had the happiest smile. I will miss him a lot and he will be missed by so many of his friends and co workers. I will continue to keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Tony was always someone who could get a grin out of you no matter what the subject was about and our fishing trips were always an adventure. He taught me everything about striper fishing and making lures and though we had lost touch over the past few years he'll always be in my memories as being a fair and honest man and his passing saddens me greatly.
