It was so sad to hear of Tony´s passing. He was a good friend and a wonderful teacher. When I was young and knew it all, Tony took me under his wing and showed me how a man works. I couldn´t have had a better mentor. He was a great friend and took me hunting. He invited me into his home just to come over and watch football. His wife Bonnie also became a close friend. They treated me like one of their children. Always kind and welcoming. And funny. We always had a laugh. I lost my wife at a young age. Tony and Bonnie were one of the first ones to call me. Even though I had moved away, they found my phone number and let me know that they cared and were there for me. Tony was a great man and a dear friend. I will miss him. I want Bonnie and Gloria that I always took Tony with me. The lessons he was kind enough to share with me for ever. God bless Tony, and may Jesus comfort Bonnie and his children. Erik (Buck) Southard.
