Linda, & Family,
I worked with Tony at ADM for PCM, I always admired the hard worker he was he set a great example for others to follow. No matter where I saw him at he always took time to speak and shake my hand. He always had a smile and was a very happy person. We are very sorry for your loss, a gret man has passed and will be remembered. May God give you peace.

We have very fond memories of Tony. He was a man with character. You never knew what to expect with Tony. He could make you smile and even laugh when your day had been at its worst. Tony was a great asset to Boy Scout Troop 31. We real enjoyed having him as a part of the troop. He helped us keep it fun for everyone involved. We will miss him dearly. We will always have the memories.

I just wanted to leave my condolences and a comforting scripture. John 5:28 reads- 'Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." This speaks of a resurrection of our dead loved ones. I know you don't know me but you and the family will be in my prayers.
It was not God's purpose for mankind to suffer and die the way we do today. When you get a chance visit http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/our-suffering/. This site brought me comfort during my hard time.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Tony at the Decatur Foundry. Have known him for many years through the family. Didn't hear of this until the last minute to give my friendship to you all. My thoughts and prayers be with his family . May he Rest In Peace.

We are praying for you and sending our love to you in your time of needed comfort. Tony was a great guy, Bianca was reflecting on how much fun they had last year on the class trip to Chicago, Tony had her group and said he was a blast that day, teasing the girls on the shopping they kept dragging him into and how he didn't know how their mothers kept up with them. You both have been so present for all these years in activities and your support for others. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers daily.

Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. I used to work with Tony at Venture and he was always a riot! He always made a bad day better with his comic self. When he first met you, he told me (and several others) that you were the one that was put on earth for him. Please know that you, Dylan and your entire family are in my prayers and thoughts. Tony is now your Guardian Angel.
