Grandpa Tony- Warm and friendly, generous, and had a distinguished level of swag about him. Always smelling good, I can see him now rocking a leather jacket and a kangol-type hat with that thin mustache of his smiling down on us from above undoubtedly in the driver seat of a beautiful ride. We have God to thank for lending him to us all these years.
May God bless all with healing, peace, love, and appreciation as he is in our thoughts and on our hearts.

Goodbye Tony. You will be very missed. You were an important part of are family. I remember conversations with you and my father about low riders and how it wasn’t one unless you could bearly fit a pack of cigarettes under the back bumper. Today I picked up your hunting rifle. passed down to you by your father to you. That torch will be passed on.

Tony was a good and loyal friend to my sister Laura and our family for more than 25 years. Laura and Tony, through romance, became inseparable friends. Tony & Laura were true soulmates. His steadfastness and basic decency made him a wonderful partner and father. It won’t be the same without him. Our family will miss him dearly.
