Tony was a great person. We went to high school together, and had many long talks at lunch times that covered many topics. I was very proud to call him " friend". Rest in peace Tony. Thoughts and prayer to his family and friends.

I am so sad to be losing a friend of over a half century. What fond memories I'll treasure of the time we spent together growing up. From being on the school safety patrol to many miles on his old Ford convertible to him being best man at our wedding.Tony was a principled man. Heaven is an even stronger place with him there. Darla and I share the grief with you and family.
