Anthony was a wonderful neighbor. Always waving hello and if I was in the yard gardening he would always stop and say something nice. It has been hard not to see him pull in his drive way after a game of golf or leaving with Diane for Dinner.

He will be sadly missed by his
neighbors

Tony your suffering and pain is over. I believe you will join and celebrate with your family this holy season of Christmas.
