It's amazing how someone can make an impression on your life in only a short time. Tony was that type of person. He never asked you to do something that he himself was not willing to do, and he would laugh with that big cheesy grin that was infectious. As a person that was under his supervision for a long time I can honestly say that anyone manged by him LOVED HIM. He was a class act in that he maintained his professionalism at all times. Even if it meant he sat alone at applebees! He would however send over a beer just to acknowledge our presence. We will truly miss this one of a kind person. And to Pauline~My Heart Goes out to you!

Goodbye dear friend.
It's amazing how much Tony taught me in the years we worked together at the Depot. He will always remain a part of my memories, and my crazy stories of Santa Maria.
You will always be missed.

Tony was such a blessing. He helped me thru the loss of my dad, and over time became a second dad to me.
I'll never forget the time we went to pismo and he ate a cup of chocolate covered crickets! No words can express how much he will be missed. I just thank god for putting him in my life.

My life was blessed by having known Tony. His smile and cheerful attitude made work seem like play and the most difficult situations tolerable. You would not hear unkind words about anyone from Tony. If you told him something in confidence, you knew your secret was safe with him. He encouraged, taught and guided his employees. No one was beneath him. I saw Tony take out trash, gather carts from the parking lot, sweep floors and once,even clean the ladies room at Home Depot when he easily could have delegated those tasks to someone else. I will miss Tony, his smile, his jokes and his bright and shining spirit. Thank you Tony for capturing a little piece of my heart. You will never be forgotten.

I was checking my son's guest book and noticed Tony's obituary. My heart goes out to his friends and family. I had the pleasure of working with him as my manager, at Home Depot and he was such a kind, good, funny, man. I am so sorry for your loss

Tony, you had to go so fast, "good times" with you should have last. Harley rides, boxing, camping, concerts and Chumash...in such a short time we had a blast!
Time together to be forgotten never because, you live in my sister Pauline's heart forever.
Wanting your heart to beat one more time, to help ease the sadness from our mind. Yet happy to know in heaven we will find, Tony playing ball with angels this time!
