I met Tony in the early 80s I worked at the local nurseries where he would come in to buy plants for jobs, he was always such a nice person to talk to and just be around, his great sense of humor and knowledge which he was always willing to share. I just found out of his passing and am very sad the world has lost a truly decent human being. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Mrs. Aguilar (Noreen), I was absolutely devastated to hear of Tony's passing. I started coming to the mandarin farm several years ago after my neighbor Mary Emmett's recommendation.I always looked forward to the beginning of mandarin season and used to kid Tony about how short the season was and how I needed therapy to treat my withdrawal symptoms when the season ended! I will so miss his wonderful smile and laugh. My love and prayers are with you and your family.

Carol and Greg Lobczowski

Greg and I just heard of Tony's passing. We are devastated and heartbroken. We met Tony about 15 years ago when we started purchasing mandarins from him. He was always so friendly and always had a smile on his face. We had so many great conversations with him. May you rest in peace Tony, we will miss you terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Jeff and I were so sad to learn of Tony's passing. He was a great guy, always had a smile for us! I can't tell you how many times we saw him at the Mandarin festival or other places and he grinned from ear to ear! Very sorry for the family's loss. He will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family. Jeff and Wendy Dakin

I'm so sorry that we missed his celebration of life. We haven't seen Tony in many years, but always thought of him as a friend. He had the warmest heart and the best smile and laugh. I'm so sorry to hear that he's gone at such a young age. Our sincerest sympathy to Tony's family.

Rob & Wendy Littlepage

I remember meeting Tony back in the 1980's. He had just left Yamasaki Nursery and I had just started there. When I started my own business we would work on projects together and over the years he installed many of my designs, always doing impeccable work. Wendy and I are so sorry and shocked to hear of his passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. He was a friend and colleague and will be greatly missed.

Tony may you rest in peace. My heart goes out to those 2 young ladies.

RITA & KEN EGIDE

Ken & I were remembering when we first met Tony back in 1992 when we lived in Newcastle & our neighbor across the street from us recommended him to do some landscaping for us. Ken always had a project for Tony to do on our 5 acres. He even planted an orchard for us but no mandarin oranges for us. We became friends back then & I even remember him coming over during this time to tell us he was going to be a father. He was so excited about it, came to show us pictures of Alicia after she was born & in later years would bring her & Amanda with him to our house. During this time we attended St. Joseph in Auburn but weren't happy there & decided to join SS Peter & Paul in Rocklin. Tony told us his parents went to that church & we then met them & over the years Ken & I would see them at Mass. In 1994 when I started my own CPA practice Tony became a client of mine & later his parents and Highland Orchard. Ken & I look back & realize we've known Tony for about 25 years. We will truly miss his ever smiling face! We can't be there in person now that were living in Arizona but we are both there in spirit during this difficult time to give hugs & our prayers to Mary & Noreen.

PS His funeral Mass is on a most wonderful day in that it is the 100th anniversary of the first appearance of Our Lady of Fatima.

Truly a great loss to our community. Tony was a bright light always willing to give you assistance, a warm smile and a good laugh. He was so encouraging to me when we started our mandarin orchard 15 years ago. My heart goes out to your family.

On behalf of the Placer County Vintner's Association I would like to send our sincere condolences to the Aguilar family and all those at Highland Orchards. Having served as both president of Placer Grown and The Placer County Visitors Bureau, I got to see Tony as a true asset to not just the citrus industry but to all of us involved in Placer County Agricultural and Ag Tourism. We at the PCVA are so grateful to Farmer's like Tony whose enthusiasm, hard work and tenacity have paved the way for new agricultural opportunity and helped to keep existing agriculture entities alive and thriving in our region. On a personal note, I will miss seeing Tony's smiling face and his positive demeanor at ag functions and community meetings. He was a doer and a supporter and his absence will indeed be felt.

Sincerely,
Teena Wilkins
