Tony will be greatly missed by all. He always made me laugh no matter what! He was a hard worker and always did whatever was asked of him. He always said Hello Beautiful' to me (I am certain that was to pick at Larry though!!) when he would see me. Such a sweetie. Rip - my friend.

Eva, I was shocked to see that Tony had passed away. I thought a lot of him and would see him sometimes when I went to the maintenance & cafeteria departments at the school before I retired. I am so sorry. I'm praying for you and your family. Barbara Smart Nipper

Sorry for your loss,.. My Grandmother, also known to many as Motherwiley would take me over to visit her brother, Uncle Herbert and family... Those were the days.. She loved Uncle Herbert Dearly, and all her nieces and nephew... I never had the honor of meeting Tony but knowing his parents and their siblings I can only assume he was a great man. Rest in Peace.

Tony was a hard working guy who had a great sense of humor. I worked in the cafeteria at Union Elementary before retiring and he was the go-to guy at the warehouse. My husband and I would see him at the ball park or see hunting or mudding pictures on line. You could tell he really enjoyed spending time with his family. The fish and gumbo always seemed better when he was cooking at the Pier. He touched a lot of people's lives in his own way so I know he will be greatly missed.
