After the first time I met Tony he called me by name every time after that. Didnt know him well but he never met a stranger and when i did have the pleasure of speaking with him it was a priviledge to do so. His smile was contagious and the way he was familiar with every one every time he greeted them made him unique. RIP

It is not right for you to leave this world so soon. you should have grown old (like the rest of us), seen your kids grow up..walk your daughters down the isle on their wedding day.... and have grand children. Your life had only just begun my friend. You have no idea how many peoples lives you have touched through out the years. You will be dearly missed my friend.
