So sorry to learn of the loss of my "cousin". Tony and I were best buddies when we were grade school age. I totally lost track of the family over the years but I will always remember my friend, Tony.

Linda and Family, We just heard the news of Tony's passing. We are heartsick for you all. Tony was an amazing man. When we would ask him how he was feeling he always said good. We couldn't ask for better neighbors. We will miss seeing him out in the yard. You are in our thoughts and prayers. The Rufers

As it appears with so many other people, Tony was our favorite HVAC guy, too. Cyrus and Tony talked many hours at his office, and when he had health problems, he never complained. He was a beautiful soul, and we are honored to have known him. We are so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear the news of Tonys passing. When I became a homeowner, I was introduced to Tony by my dad, Jim Hiatt, who had known Tony for many years. Tony helped me and my family, was always there to respond to emergencies and offer honest advice, and I trusted him without reservation. I liked him very much and will miss him. My sincere condolences to his family and to his employees. Tony was a special guy.
