Tony will be dearly missed by those who cherish genuine. Cheers to our King, and see you soon in His coming Kingdom my friend.
An amazing truck driver and friend. I enjoyed every story he shared.
My sympathy to his family. Although I did not know him, His mother, Pat was a dear friend and roommate. Lost touch after her marriage. Would love to touch base with her again. Such great memories
My father was many things! A truck driver, reverand, friend, brother, grandfather and so much more. He would tell stories and everyone felt like they would live through the moment as he told them. He was the kind of person who would drop everything he had going on to come help someone when they needed it. Though, he wasn’t always this person that we know today, his journey in life shows that there can be growth and if we all work on it, we can better ourselves. My father was an inspiration to many and I am proud of him. Thank you all for accepting him as he was and being part of his journey.
Well said, Jenna. It was an honor to know your dad.
