Uncle Tony, I remember when you paid a visit to our family, along with your mission partners. I was sooo much younger then! But even then, I knew what so many people knew about you...You were special. You had that wonderful presence, that sweet spirit about you, and a fantastic smile that would light up any room! You were magnetic, and it was hard to watch you leave even back then...And now, tho just as hard, I'm old enough to understand. It's time for you to go, and rest in the arms of Our Savior. Well done, Uncle Tony!

I had the pleasure of meeting father Tony through his niece (Toni) a few years a go at one of his brothers funeral in DC. Father Tony was a very delightful and spiritual man that when he walk into the room the whole room would light up with his smile and laughter. Keep smiling Father Tony....
