Asahel and I will really miss Tony. Tony and his golf group was the highlight of Ace's week and I came home smiling every time we spent time with Tony and Rose. We loved his strength of character, no-nonsense approach to life and his sense of humor. We miss him.

To Rose and family, My prayers and thoughts are with you in this sad time. My memories of Tony were always happy ones for his sense of humor always brought me a smile. Time heals and dries away the tears. We just had the memorial service for my Mom August 15th so I know the feelings you are going through.
