I have known Tony for 47 years and have been very proud to call him friend I met him at work We were both young men at the age of 21. Working away from home Tony talked a lot about his wife and family and how much he loved and missed them. I will remember Tony always had time to lend help to a friend in need. Tony will truly be missed by his friends and family. Rest in pease my friend. Eddy

I am saddened for the loss of a close friend and mentor. Tony was the hardest working man I ever knew,we worked closely together for alot of years and he took me under his wing and taught me a skill(welding) that I carry with me the rest of my life. We also loved to ride bikes together along with several other friends we worked with and we all had a ball at bike week together.Tony really loved his family, we would sit in shop in the morning drinking coffee and he would tell me stories about Ric and Kim and his grand children and he could not wait to get off work and head to the beach with Janice. We had some good times I will never foget, Tony will always be in my heart !

We are sitting here talking about the last time we all got together the two of you walking across the parking lot holding hands, laughing, still so much in love. You and Tony have been our friends for over 40 years and I will cherish my memories. No finer man, no better friend will I ever find. Linda and I love you and we are here for you! John & Linda Tate
