We came to know Tony through his business, but we quickly came to think of him as a friend. Besides taking joy in doing excellent work, he was considerate, thoughtful, and had a sunny smile and a cheerful word for everyone. He seemed happiest when he was helping others. We often called him an angel because he was so kind, and now he is a heavenly angel near the God he loved and served so well. Still, this loss is painful for those of us who knew and loved him. We are thankful that his lovely family, the light of his life, is so much like him and that they have each other to help remember all the ways he made their lives meaningful and wonderful. May God bless you and comfort you now and for all your days.
