A once in a lifetime true friend. Although I had only seen Tony 2 times since his family moved away in the early ‘60’s, we enjoyed some truly wholesome times as young friends. He was born just 5 days before me, which I never realized back then. I will never forget how his whole family always treated me as one of them, and Tony and I parted with regret.
The second time that I saw Tony was two years ago, with a knock at my door. What a surprise to see him. I knew who it was immediately, and couldn’t believe it. We had a great visit and sadly parted ways again.
I had often wondered about Tony, and always knew whatever he did for a living, he did to his best. A fine man and friend for life!
GOOD-BYE Old Friend !
