My heart breaks for those that love him and are left behind.
I met Tony back in 1984. He was a good man. He treated my daughter (his Neice) and I with kindness and love during a time when no one else would. I will be eternally grateful for his unconditional love for my child.
He was a “real” man.
My heart breaks for Stephanie, his kids and grandkids. 🙏 you will be forever remembered.
