    Tony, I will never forget after the 6 of us had dinner (Amy, Lisa, Jay, Margaret , Tom & myself) the first question you asked was "so are the paper signed?" That gave me a big LOL, thank you for that memory! Please guide the trees with strength and kindness like you had done with your kids and grandkids. Rest in Paradise

    Dear Tony, I will miss the many days we had sailing together. You loved being by the water and it brought us closer together. I'll miss very much. Amy loved the way you used to intimidate Donald Duck! It has been a very sad time for me. I'll see you again in Heaven! Bless you and all our family.

    Dear Sandee, Andrea, Jay, Andrew and Stephen, I am so very sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He was a great neighbor and friend for the many years that we knew him. Always a smile and a wave if you saw him working on his boat in the driveway. Joe always enjoyed time spent with him working on boats or just talking about them. Maybe they are doing just that right now. My sincere condolences to all of you. Marilyn Resch
