Tony - Well done good and faithful servant! You loved the Lord- You loved your family- You served humanity by your example. I remember one time when We were returning from Skylodge Christian Camp on an old bus and our brakes needed repair . The first guy off the bus to fix it and the last guy on the bus once it was fixed was Tony. I'm proud to say you were my friend -You will be greatly missed

Cousins are your first best friends. I love you. From our early days when you would tinker with gadget toys off to the side of us girls playing dolls through to your marriage to your darling wife. I watched your lead about being a strong marriage partner and later a loving parent and always a kind son. You weren't setting out to teach me anything, but you sure did. Rest now, dear cousin. May perpetual light shine on you.

I have many good and even funny memories of Tony. The one that I will cherish most centers on something I get to see every day from my Family Room. My wife reminded me of this after we found out about Tony's passing. About 25 or so years ago, We lived in a trailer that was getting a bit cramped for our family. Tony built an addition that greatly added to the square footage. Tony, by far, did most of the work. There were occasions, however, where I helped him here and there. My Dad helped out a couple of times, too. If you wanted to see something comical, you should have seen the 3 of us trying to put drywall up on the ceiling. That trailer is long gone, but "the addition" as we call it, it still going strong. It's used for storage and my wife plans to use it for various projects. Every time we look out the window, Tony comes to mind. Rest Well, Brother. You will be missed. Greg
