I never had an opportunity to meet Tony in person but his presence at the Market America conferences was fully known! It was apparent that he was a man of honor and utmost integrity! From all Ive learned about his life through others testimonies Im sure he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ now and celebrating Christs birthday in His presence this year. My condolences to Pam and the entire Bowling family.
