So very sorry for your loss. I remember Tony well from school. He was one of only a few of the boys tall enough to dance with me. It is so very hard to lose a husband, father, grandfather. My sympathy goes out to you. Roberta Draper

Ilene and boys, I read this and my heart hurts. Tony was always such a wonderful support of our Christensen family, always happy and kind even though we only crossed patches such few times. Steve and I are sending so much love to you and your boys and wish that we were not in Chicago during his life celebration so we could personally hold you and love you. You were and are a sweet loving couple and I smile as I think of the two of you. Love you xo Robyn and Steven Dunn
