Dear Dorothy, Barb, and Family,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of a wonderful part of your family. I remember Tony as the "big brother" when I used to come to your house on Knower to play with you, Barb. He was always a lot of fun and teased us girls. I then got to talk to him often, later in life, when he came into the chiropractor where I worked. My daughter was a friend of Aimee's in high school at Anthony Wayne. I always thought alot of Tony as he spoke so highly of his family, and I know he loved you all very much. May your wonderful memories carry you through the next few weeks. Take care. Jane

Dear Mary and Family, although it has been many years since we have seen each other, I have never forgotten how much you and Tony meant to me. You both always treated me with a great deal of friendship, and always welcomed my children, Jeff and Kim, to play with your children, Jeff and Aimee.

I am praying for your family, and also sending all of you a hug from all of my family. I know Tony will always be with you in spirit each and every day, as he loved every one of you very much.

Dear Mary and family,

We were so sorry to hear about Tony. Florida is not going to be the same without him. We shall miss his warm greetings as he stopped by when taking Max for his walks. He was always there when you needed a helping hand. God just acquired a new handyman.
