Tony was a life time friend to me for almost 60 years. The memory’s will always be with me. He told me once that if I died today the memories we shared together made for a full life. I will miss stopping at his home to say hi and hrs would pass talking about everthing and anything, myself, my wife, my daughters, my friends will miss him dearly. Good bye my friend, love you. See you down the trail.
I first met Tony after coming home from the service in 1968. This loved one—not a person to adore, But GOD’s idea, blessed with humor, grace,
And gentleness. There is a solid core of faith between good friends, and whether face To face or leagues apart no final breach of time or death can part their company. Our kindred hearts are anchored each to each by unseen threads of God’s own sympathy. Tony will always be greatly LOVED, and missed very much!
Tony was a life long friend for almost 60 yrs. I will always hold in the highest regard and he will always have a special place in my heart. I lost touch with Tony for about 30 yrs until one day him and Paul B got a hold of me on facebook. We all got together and it was like I hadnt seen in in a couple days. We laughed and talked for hours. We stayed intouch and I saw him 2 days before He died. Good Bye my friend and hold a seat for me in heaven. Love you.
