Obituary:
“To everything is a season and time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted…a time to weep, and a time to laugh: a time to mourn, and a time to dance…”

Tony had a keen sense of humor. His whole persona was that of a life long comedian. No matter who you were, and what you were going through, Tony had a way of making you see the humor in it. He was a people person, so everyone he met was a friend indeed. He was even keeled emotionally, so you never see him angry. He took pride in being a big hearted Dad to many.
