I got to know Tony only thru the precious impact he had on my son, John Misch. The visits, conversations, and music were related to me in such a way that I got the real sense of how much Tony was loved and honored by his family. I will be in prayer for you all in these times of sorrow of your loss of patriarch Tony. I will rejoice with you all in knowing that he is at home with our Lord and that one day we will have a great reunion and I will get to meet your sweet sweet husband, dad, grandpa, and great grandpa. What a glorious day that will be! In God’s love, Diane Parker

He is truly happy with our savior Jesus Christ in heaven, as he awaits the rest of his family and friends, as he is with family and friends up above at this moment. God bless and may the Lord ease your pain.
