Tony was so special. A sweetheart through and through. I went to grade school and high school with him. Later in the 2000s we were texting and found out we lived within blocks of each other in Chicago. I was already living in Indiana at this time. How I would have loved to hang out with Tony during those years! What a loss to this world. My prayers of comfort go out to his family and friends. Much love, Liz C
Tony was the best office neighbor anyone could have ever wanted. Always smiling and welcoming, he made my day special more times than I could count. Walking past his space makes my heart hurt every time. He was someone I called friend and he will be dearly missed. Tony was a gem (pun intended).
My deepest condolences to all who loved Tony. I was his barber for the past 35 years. Oh the stories we shared always made me laugh so hard, every time. He was more than a client. He was one of my best friends. He jokingly wanted me to name my son after him. I gave my son his name, Drake Anthony! He was so proud & always used his first & middle name. He was a gem & I will forever cherish our friendship.
