I feel honored to say that I was a friend of Tony's for nearly 50 years. He was truly a unique man filled with entrepreneurial spirit, a love of life and a remarkable commitment to his family. His finest moment was his devotion to Sandra when she experienced a serious ailment. Those of us that witnessed his intense and successful efforts to save her stood by in admiration of Tony for his love and commitment to Sandra. 

I am so sorry and sad to read this. When I moved from Texas to California, he and his family were 1 of the 1st families I met and he embraced me, made me feel so special and loved my Texas roots.  His devotion to his family and friends is one to be admired. He will be missed. Please know Sandra and the entire family you are in our prayers. 

Tony and I had been friends since childhood and over the years that friendship grew so that Tony was much more than a friend to me. He was my brother. I will forever miss his friendship, his generous spirit, the way he embraced friends and family and his never failing love of life. Tony was one of a kind and will be missed by so many.
