What a true friend Tony was here on earth. He was like a brother to me. I will miss his fun, love and caring views of every one of us on here. He has been through much in the past few years but he always had a sense of humor, even when he would get mad. He loved and cherished his wife, Kelly so much and I was so proud of him for that. She will be in my prayers and thoughts the most. I know where Tony is and he is without pain and is having a wonderful time. I know he will be looking over all of us because this is the kind of soul he is. I love you brother.

I don't know how I'm going to say goodbye to my brother tomorrow; there is such an emptiness in me now. I would give anything if he could just call me one more time. He had the biggest heart and always had my back. I'm very thankful to Kelly and the girls for bringing sunshine in his heart and in his life. I love you big bub, there will never be anyone else like you!! I hope you know how much I love you! Missy: it is so great to hear from you! I have thought about you through the years :)

I am so very sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He was a friend of mine from high school. I was lucky enough that Tony 'friended' me on Facebook and I got to reconnect with him. Whenever we were on FB at the same time he would always ask how I was doing ... even with everything he had going on he wanted to know about me. He was one of the good ones gone far too early.

Tony was a great storyteller. I would look forward to Monday mornings at work because I knew Tony would tell us about his weekend, always with a few good laughs and great embellishments. He really enjoyed lifting peoples spirits. I think Daniel Webster would define 'Tony' as "a really good guy."
