I met Tony when I worked with Candy at the City of Madeira Beach. We lived on the beach and Tony liked to visit my late husband and young son while Candy and I were working. He liked to lay down on our living room floor and take a nap. This was back in 1992. He was a very nice guy and lots of fun. We lost touch for 30 years after I moved back to Maryland after my first husband died but I actually saw Candy and my other co-workers recently right before he went into the hospital. I talked to him briefly on the phone but he was already feeling sick, so didn't come to lunch with us. I know Tony's up in heaven hanging out with all our Madeira Beach friends who have passed as well as my late husband. Here's to you, Tony, Dan, Lou, Fritz and all our friends who are on the other side. Gone too soon.

Anthony was my cousin on my mom's side. Although we were not close it saddens me to hear of his passing. I remember him being so funny, outgoing and him always smiling. Your Aunt Lucille will miss your faithful phone calls to her. May he rest in peace.
