Tony you stepped up and took me in as your own daughter when you didn't have to. I will never forget that. You had a heart of gold that was always open to helping out those in need. You were a wonderful man that made my mom so happy in the many years you spent together. Thank you for teaching us girls how to as well be kind to those in need, as well as standing up for ourselves when need be. You will forever be missed! Please continue to look over us all as we continue our life's journey. We love you! Rest In Peace Tony!

Dad, you tought me so many things, more than I realized. The last week has been the hardest days of my life. I didn't think I would make it thru but because of you I am strong, stronger than I ever knew. You tought me to be caring and kind, to stand up for myself and to always lend a hand. You are a GREAT man that has touched a lot of people's lives. I will strive to be more like you. The world is dimmer not having you in it. You will truly be missed. I love you. Rest in Peace.
