This is so sad - beyond words - Tony was absolutely wonderful - very personable and caring - all I can think about is three little girls who are going to miss their Daddy.

Tony - a wonderful, caring, loving son - always willing to take charge and help anyone in need. It was a blessing - a special gift to watch you grow into an accomplished and self assured young man - and then into a very special father to your own children. It is so hard to imagine our family without you - there will forever be an emptiness that only you could fill. We love you Tony and will miss you forever.
