I just learned today Tony went home to his Lord and Savior. In the brief time I spent with Tony, we had many deep spiritual conversations, downloaded music together and all and all, Tony was a man that could lift you up emotionally. Thanks for the memories

"Hey Tony" "Hey Tony" That's how we greeted each other at Williams. Tony was always fun to talk to and we talked about fishing and sitting on the porch listening to baseball games on the radio. He seemed a kind and gentle soul.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Tony's family and loved ones. I met Tony many years ago through my father. He was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed. He always had a kind word or funny story to tell whenever we got together. Peace be with you my friend!
