Tony will be missed for his gentleness and his concern for others. He always remembered my name when we met regardless for how much time had gone by since I had seen him last. Tony was a role model of not giving up and keep on trying to stay fit. I saw the love on Jesus in him and know that he is with Jesus now.
Tony and I kept our horses at the same barn for a time. He was a gentleman with a quick whit and a ready smile. I am greatly sorry for your loss. He will be missed.
