My dear Jack , Donna and Cris ,
I know you will be very sad today … but we are so glad to leave all in the hands of a just and kind
Father .. I was consoled to know of steps Tony took to be closer to God . I heard one time about a soldier buried in Europe … he didn’t have identification on him … and so they put this on the marker “ known only to God “ … and so we trust ..
with much love . Your love for Tony has always
Inspired me . With love , Gail
Jack, I am so sorry for your loss.

We will be with you in thought & prayer & glad we can be at the virtual service!!

Cris and Family,
I’ve just discovered Tony’s passing, I apologize for that, we lost connection many years ago, I actually had to Google him every couple years just to see where he was at in life, obviously he had troubles, hey we all did, but I know how genuinely beautiful and kind Tony was and remember being best pals growing up on Mary Hill, man did we laugh and have fun as little kids and teenagers, I’ve always wondered about Tony and now I understand his calling, God bless you all, RIP my Pal
