Tony entered our lives as our neighbor. Little did we know that he would become just like family to us. John & Tony were like 2 peas in a pod. In no time they figured out they both had an infinity for garden trains and together they built the incredible J.T. Railroad on our front lawn! It is a legacy we will always adore, just as much as we adored Tony. Tony & I often chuckled outside together (him in his thick robe, me bundled up for the winter) when the weather dropped below 78, because we were freezing! Our dog, Frankie, was his #1 fan. We will always remember Tony's humor, kindness and love for the good life. Peace to you Tony and your loved ones....

PSALM 23
23:1 A Psalm of David. the Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

23:3 He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name's sake.

23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
