I've watched Tony for years on Making it Grow , always coming away with new knowledge. But I have been robbed. I never got to meet him in person and now that he has gone to heaven, my chance is gone. I can only pray that when I get there he will be one of many waiting to greet me at the gate. To Tony's wonderful , loving family , may God be with you through the lost of such a great man. I'll keep praying for you as I have been the past few months. I hope God has granted you peace.
