He also loved his Disney collection. He must have had several copies of every Disney movie. It was truly amazing and totally fit his personality. His quirky sense of humor never failed to amuse and delight his family. That will be missed.

Tony’s gentleness and kindness endeared him to every one that came into his life. He was truly a special soul that will be missed. Tony was preceded in death by his farther – Jack.
