Hello,
Tony was a great guy and he passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2004. It is hard to believe it has already been seven years already.

R.I.P. Tony.

Regards,
Jody

I'm originally from Chardon, OH, the same small town that Tony was from. I knew him in high school and visited he and his family at their home in the Bass Lake community many times. We were hard partiers back then. We lost touch and then stumbled accross each other and reconnected through militaria collecting. He was a good guy and is sorely missed.
