Tony was a friend of ours for so many years. He was a gentle, kind human being - someone who was always willing to lend a hand in time of need, someone who always thought of others. We loved him and miss him greatly.

Tony was mine and my best friend's hairdresser when he gave up his shop in Virginia Beach and did hair out of the home in Norfolk for a time. We thought a lot of him and have missed his unusual wit and personality. We have thought about him often and wondered what had happened to him. So sorry to hear of his death.
