Dad, my world will definitely not be the same without you. You mean everything to me. I am so blessed to have you in my life. I couldn't have asked for a better father and mentor in my life. I can't describe the sadness and emptiness I feel without you in my life. Who will I call for advice? You are definitely lucky to have such a wonderful wife and we were all lucky to have you. I Love you so very much!!!! Love, Gail

I worked with Tony on a construction project several years ago in West Palm Beach. I greatly respected and appreciated his style of running the job and his competence in his work. I enjoyed many conversations with him while on the jobsite. He was a wonderful human being. My most sincere condolences to his family.
