Melissa and I went with Timmy to the Martinsville race a few yrs ago.we had a great time.it was snowing on the way up to the track.but it turned out to be a good day.Thank you Timmy for asking us to go...R.I.P. till we meet again.

Tony was not just my cousin he was my brother my best friend we grew up together we share a lot of memories together I went by and saw him another day and talk to him about some good times when we rode the motorcycle to the beach The strap on my helmet started smacking me on my face he had a little smile on his face and when I was leaving I grabbed his hands and said I love you brother I saw tears coming out his eye that was telling me I love you too man 
Love and miss you brother until we meet again one great day


You were a great friend and person you will forever be missed RIP Tony!!

(Ran out of room on my last post so this is continued) 
I figured that I would have to stay at home with my mom and dad while he took my brothers to hooters but Tony didn’t leave me out, he asked me if I wanted to go so Tony took all four of us. While we were there we joked about the terrible outfits and enjoyed our wings. When my brother graduated basic training in Texas for the Air Force, Tony road with 6 of us in a mini van all the way to Texas to see TJ. During this trip we had so much fun with our uncle Tony. These are just a few memories that I wanted to share about Tony. I will forever miss him and his spontaneous adventures! He put up a good fight against cancer and I don’t believe that he lost, I believe that he won the ultimate prize. He is now in heaven, pain free looking down on us with his Dad. 

It’s hard to pick just one memory with Tony because he was such an outgoing, free spirited, kind man. When his nieces and nephews were growing up he was out of town a lot for work or travel but when Tony was around he always knew something fun to do and he could always make you laugh.  When I was in middle school Tony and I went to the movies for what I thought was just going to be one movie but Tony had the fun idea of hopping around and watching all the movies that we had time for. Later on, after Tony had gotten sick and the movie theatre was no longer in Statesville I had asked Tony if he wanted to go out and eat lunch. Once again I thought we were just going to go to just one restraunt and have lunch but Tony had the fun idea of restraunt hopping. We started at one restraunt and had an appetizer then at the next we had our entree and then we ended off at a different restraunt for dessert. This is just how spontaneous Tony was, you never knew what you were going to get with him. For our 16 birthday him and his wife promised us that they would take us on a cruise. When my oldest brother turned 16 I was so jealous because he was finally getting to go on his first cruise and I figured by the time that I turned 16 they would forget all about taking me on a cruise, but that didn’t happen. When we finally were able to go on our cruise we got all the way to the cruise ship in Florida and realized that Tony had forgotten his passport (typical Tony) once again I thought we were not going be able to board the ship but him and his wife found a way to get his passport faxed so that we could still go on our trip and it was such a fun trip and every since that first cruise I have been hooked and always try to find a reason to go on a cruise. When we were on middle/high school Tony always joked with my brothers about taking them to hooters to eat chicken wings. (Running out of room so I will have to make another post)
