If you were ever looking for Tony at an occasion, he was always in the kitchen helping out. He truly enjoyed sharing meals and laughter with family and friends, and found joy in bowling up until the age of 85. As stated in Tony's high school yearbook: "A boy who has run himself into winning more trophies than he knows what to do with. Tony will always hold the spirit of Ferris High School high for us." He was proud to qualify and compete in the invitational Penn Relays in the 1950's. Tony was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to everyone.
