Sorry for your loss Gidget. I considered Tony a friend for life. I met him while we worked at Furrow and we clicked immediately. He had a tough exterior but had a heart of gold. He was a hard worker, and wanted to help others succeed. We had lost touch these last few years, but I never forgot Tony and the kindness he showed to me. RIH my friend, you will be missed.
