Dear Tony,

Thank you for being the best neighbor a person can dream of. You were the first person we met when we started to build our house on Bills Court and we knew from that moment on that we made the right decision with the location of our home. Your memory lives on in the inside and outside of our home. I will remember you always as I gaze at your thriving grape vines in my backyard, and when I swing on the swing you built and when I wash my hands in the sink and faucets you installed and when I dry my clothes in the dryer that you hooked up. How can I even find the words to thank a person who has done so much? But most of all, thank you for saving Shelby's big toe from the tread mill and then coming to my car accident scene to hold my hand in the ambulance and for telling me that everything was going to be OK. I will cherish the memories and I'll never forget your image of sitting on your side porch waving to us as we took a walk. love you lots!

Rita, Susan, Richard and Family, Tony was an amazing person. May you find comfort in knowing that he was loved by so many people who will always remember him fondly.

Love, Aysem, Chris, Emre, Shelby, and Aysel

Tony Brash was a truely an incredible man. Everytime i saw him he treated my just like I was one of his grandchildren, always teasing me and doing anything he could to make me smile if i wasn't in a good mood. He always had a way with putting a smile on everyones face. My heart is with the Brash family and I know we will all carry on the memory of Tony.

We were very saddened to learn of the passing of Tony. He was truly a pleasure the few times we have been able to spend time with him, We are praying for Tony and the family, and that the family may find peace. I hope when Tony gets up there he can be with our son JJ, and the other loved ones that have passed before him...With much love and sympathy....Love Jerry and Annette Brash and family.

I can remember way back in the early 60's, Tony either lived with us (in Suitland, MD) or was just there a lot. He and my dad are brothers. He would come home from work, it was always right after dinner, to where the table wasn't even cleared yet. He'd have a piece of gum for me if I ate everything on my plate. We'd stand there looking at the table and he'd ask "which plate was yours?" Of coarse I'd pick the empty one. He knew it wasn't mine and he'd always call me on it. He gave me the gum anyway. That was our daily ritual. After my dad lost his battle with cancer December 3rd, 1975, Tony always kept in touch with us. He wanted us to know, even though my dad was gone, we were all still "Brash's".
Tony, your forever in my heart & memory. You'll definitly be missed. Love you, Trish
