Tony was loved and respected by his large family and friends in the community. A conversation with friends or work associates always contained one or more of the following words: “respected, admired, an omnipresent leader, problem solver, in the trenches with the team, kind, loving, caring, committed, giving, good, vision, passion, drive, unparalleled dedication, mentor, friend”, etc. etc. Simply put, Tony was loved and respected by everyone.
