Our deepest sympathy Connie and family
Tony always said “Hi” to you when you came over to their house or if you were any where else he would always talk to you. I remember when Deb+Tony got married at the house.
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories of Uncle Tony to forever hold in your hearts.
With heartfelt condolences,
