Tony born in Berlin, Germany immigrated to the United States, became a naturalized citizen, and served faithfully, proudly and honorably in the United States Air Force with a sustained display of personal bravery not only in Germany, France, Italy but everywhere he was stationed.

I have known Tony for over thirty years and he always had a smile and words of wisdom to all who met him. We sometimes lunched together in Palm Springs and the conversation was filled with good time memories and remembering hometown friends. He will be deeply missed. Rest in Peace my Friend as we all prepare for the gathering of that grand reunion in the heavens of Devine Providence. We shall meet again.
