We were just thinking about the good times we had with Tony and his friendship. We googled him this evening and did not expect to find the news that we found. Our hearts are heavy now even a year and a half later. We were in town in July of 2010 and meant to reach put to him but our hectic schedule got i. The way... wish we would have taken the time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Tony! Tony cut my hair for many years. I looked forward to my appointments with Tony not only because I liked the way he did my hair, but also because of the great conversations we had together. I lived in Chicago, and Tony would always fit me in special when I was back in town. Tony was such a special, good-hearted person. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

So glad to hear he did not suffer in the end. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. It is hard to lose someone, but compounded when it is around a holiday or birthday. I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I don't know you but I have Cystic Fibrosis and have seen Dr. Nassif and he is a wonderful doctor and the staff at Mary Greely. I am 59 yrs old - and we also had something in common - I went through Cosmetologist in the 1970's and got my license.
I feel close to him even though I didn't even know him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
