I have know Tony since I was 7 years old. I remember dancing (well I called it dancing) at his wedding to my sister, Jean. Working with him on his porch addition, I learned how to shingle a roof. Although we have not see each much over these last years, I fondly recall playing cards with him at the Family reunion in Branson. His legacy does live on.
Sorry to hear about Tony’s passing. I was able to get to know him well from St REGIS sports in the 1980s. He was a wonderful man, a true gentleman. I’m sorry our lives took different paths once we moved away from the parish. He will me missed. Prayers for Tony and family.
I had the Privilege to know & work with Tony at the Honeywell plant.
He was a man of his word, a hard worker, devout Catholic and more importantly he was proud of & so loved his family & extended family, always putting family first, sacrificing for their private educations.
His legacy lives on through the family he so loved.
Eternal rest grant unto thee Tony!
We had many great times together. Lots of good memories.
