It has taken me awhile to find the words to express my condolences for Tony and the family. Tony has left a big mark on us all in the world & I am so honored that I had to opportunity to know him. And to know him is to know the love you felt thru him and his family. The world will not be the same without him here with us but the memories he’s left us with will forever live on. We will always remember his love for whimsical things (one of us had him for secret Santa and we found some dragon feet slippers that he excitedly put on with a joyful smile - I don’t know who was more happy, us or him but it was unforgettable) and also for his knack to find a good deal on something hard to find. So much love, light, and peace to you all.
There was not a day that Tony didn’t do a act of kindness. No matter how small or big he was there for everyone.He had the heart of gold. There was never a time he didn’t say thank for anything that that I do for him.It didn’t matter what you may need he was always there.
I just know tony was awesome person to family and friends to his children and wife he will be greatly missed I want to say I'm so sorry to nate and sugar and Jeremy
Tony & I as well as our siblings roamed the hills just north of Milan as we grew up. Tony was like a brother to me. We waded in the creek & roamed the woods in the summer. We sled riding, building snowmen as well as forts! We would always be out of the house early in the morning until after dark in the evening. As adults we would loose track of each other but when life's paths would cross it was as if we were never apart. Tony RIP my dear friend, until we meet again. I wish I could give you one last hug.........
Tony and I were working a weekend PKG at a nursing home. I had just started working there and Mr Tony was going to make sure I knew the rules. He told the other employees that he was going to set off the door alarms and for them to let me run and check to see if anyone got out. He instructed the other employees to watch me and make sure I checked all the doors. Oh boy did I run my legs off! I ran all day long checking the doors. The other employees stood around the corner watching me just laughing. At one point I even complained to Tony that I thought I was the only one working, that know one else was checking the doors when the door alarms went off. Tony said "Everyone is checking the doors, that I probably felt like that cause I would be the first to get to the alarm". Oh boy was I the first, I was the only one checking the doors. I didn't realize what was going on till we were off work and Mr Tony let me in on their plan. I was so tired by the time I got home that night, after a 16 hr work shift, from running all day long. That night I was so silly from being tired that I ask my wonderful Brother in Law (Tony) if he needed to potty. Just like I was talking to one of the residents I took care of that day. Tony and my husband almost wet their pants from laughing. You see Tony and my sister lived out of town. So when Tony had to work on the weekends he would stay with my family and I. He always had a great sense of humor. I will miss him dearly.
Tony (aka Bones) was more a brother to me than a brother in law. He was a care taker. We could talk for hours. I loved him dearly! Bones had so much wisdom to share. A special man that touched many young people. We will meet again in heaven to finish up our talks.
I hold the most beautiful peaceful memories with uncle T. His calm nature made him easy to talk to and pleasant to be around. Both uncle T and aunt Sugar always made me feel so loved. You are both such a huge part of my childhood. Love you bunches.
