Tony was one of the most kindest and loving souls I have ever known. He was kind, caring, compassionate, and extremely empathetic. He loved his brother and sister dearly, I could have not asked better brother in law, the ring beater at my wedding, what a sweetheart. The number one uncle in the world! He was the best buddy to his dad! Everyone that met him just loved him to pieces, it broke my heart to lose you, Tony, but maybe God had a better purpose for you, you had such a beautiful, clean soul. May you be at peace with our Pop and other loved ones. Such a dear young man, gone too soon.
