respected,full of knowledge, and one of the bravest firefighters there was. It
was a firefighter's honor to work with him."

fishing, boating, traveling, and photography.  He was also an active
member of  his church and community, volunteering for Hospitality Sundays

Tony enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, and always enjoyed a good joke.  His
children and grandchildren will forever remember his favorite: "What
happens when two ducks collide?  They quack up!"
