In grade/high school Tony spent more time at my house and I his than all others. A infectious smile, a gleam in the eye, remembered as if yesterday. To his family, you will miss him terribly, for those of us who grew up and went to school with him, a mighty sting we carry from his passing. A favorite of my mother. My deepest appreciation to his family for the short time he and I spent together so many years ago.

I remember the good times. Fishing in the creek, swimming in the farm pond and playing Pickle before the school bus came. Playing baseball our Sophomore year in the state playoffs. Tony and I rode half of the way to the game in the trunk of a car with the equipment because the bus broke down. I miss you Tony.
