You were family to all us, me included. I never knew you were struggling till an offhand comment a couple years ago; but nonetheless we never thought any less of you for it because we loved you. You're with God now and no longer in pain. We love you Tony.

Tony will definitely be greatly missed! He was like a big brother to me for over 30 years. I did everything I could to help him with his demons, but they were too strong.
Tony, I will remember you forever! Love you
