We are sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He was our neighbor. We were always fascinated by the many summers we saw him on his motorcyle. We shared
stories over the fence about what grew and didn't grow in our gardens. He was a pleasant man, always nice to speak with. We have been missing him
since last winter, and we will remember him always. Marion and Tom

Dear Tom and Shirley,

Your dad was so special and I will miss him greatly. He became a very dear friend over the years and I always enjoyed my time with him, when he would call me to review his paperwork, and share stories of his beloved family with me. He knew that he was blessed to be surrounded by so many loving people and always boasted about everyone and how proud he was of his family. God Bless You. With deep sympathies, Kathy Vescera
