Kathy, from my family and especially my father Emil, please accept our sincerest condolences and sorrow for your loss. Tony was a great guy. Not much more need be said. From bowling to golf, we all knew Tony to be a gentleman, a decent putter and not bad with a five pin bowling ball. People like him don't touch our lives often but between Dad and John and Tony ... well these are special guys and I for one, was privileged to know him and call him friend. - Posted by: Chuck Lange (Friend) on: Sep 17, 2020
