Jeanine, Ron, Rob and Antoinette and families: Sorry to hear about Tony's passing. My Mom and Dad were so fortunate to have such good friends for many, many years. He was such a hard worker and I'm sure he left his work ethics on the three of you kids. Mom and Dad and Tony are reunited and hopefully playing some cards again and talking about the old times.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family Tony cherished. He was beloved, and truly blessed to have passed peacefully from Jeanine’s arms into the arms of God. May your memories of this good man and your faith sustain you now and in the days ahead ♥️
