I was so glad that a lot of his old friends showed up to bid Tony good bye, I know it would have ment a lot to him. He really was a product of the seventies ! He just loved Kiss, especially Jean Simmons. The movie Jose Wales. He loved repeating the lines: dieing ain't much of a living, and we got'em again did'nt we Jose! He loved Ozzy Osborn! Last but not least Uncle Ted Nugent. I will always think of him when I watch that movie or here UncleTed or Ozzy music!

I was glad you was in my life growing up. Great MEMORIES

 I am so sorry this happened to you Tony I just want God to take my two beautiful nieces and my nephew and comfort them in the comfort that they need to hear from I'm sorry I didn't make it in town but I was diagnosed with brain cancer and lung cancer you've always been my thoughts and my prayers and a miss

Here is some more memories over the years: the time me and Tony were low on gas and he came up with this brain storm to go to the farm and get gas , but put kerosene or diesel fuel in my car by mistake and it started running like a tractor. Another time we were coming back from Walter and Shirley's and my car caught on fire at a stop sign. Then when I walked all the way from my mother's to up on the hill where he was living in a tent , in the blizzard of 1978 to make sure he was ok. . When  I got there I dug the snow drift away from the tent entrance. Then I noticed there was a light in side , when I looked in he was laying in there with a T.V. Going and a electric heater. He had ran a electric cord to the neighbors. I was relieved  and mad at the same time. I was happy he was o.k. But made that I had to walk all the way back to my mothers in that blizzard. And last but not least when we went camping at Scales Lake at I had caught a snapping turtle while night fishing, and had it in this John boat with us and he cursed me all the way back to shore because it was hissing and crawling around in the bottom of the boat  and we could not see it. So many memories and good times!

I never got the pleasure to really get to know you but what I did know is u was an awesome man. Holly my prayers are with u and your family in this time of sorrow. If you ever need to talk u know how to get ahold of me I lost my pops September so ik what you're going through... Love u always

Dad, 
   It just seems so unreal. I don't think it will ever get any easier losing you. The tireless days of work. Preparing for War lol. Doing the best you possibly could for your family and friends. I dont know if i can ever amount to the man you are but I will try with everything in me. You'll always be my hero Dad. A piece of me will be gone until the Lord is ready to reunite us. I will think of you everday. I know you will guide me thru this journey and much much more. It will be to long until I see you again but when I do words can't describe the feeling. Love you pops. Love Little Man

I met Tony when I was a freshman in high school we made friends immediately ! We pulled a lot of cappers together! He was always like a brother , best friend , and some body I always trusted, and loved dearly! I will see you on the other side, we will have lots to talk about! You will be greatly missed on this side! I love you brother, and friend!

To all his children. Tony was a great guy, loved friend, and buddy . He was just like one of my family members, loved like a brother! I could tell you so many adventures we had, but I will share this one. We went dear hunting and I got Tony in his deer stand, I did not know he was scared of heights . I told him I would come back and get him before 10:00, we were hunting that morning. When I came to get him at 10:00 he had tide his self from his shoulders to waist to this tree while in his deer stand I finally got him to untie him self and come down. While walking out of the woods he kicked up some ground bees, his bow and arrow went flying, clothes were flying off, he come running past me like a track star whith the bees chasing him! I never laughed so hard! I'll never forget that! What a day we had!
