Anyone who knew Tony knew what an exceptional, one of a kind guy he was. He never met a stranger. He was bigger than life and an absolute force that left a lasting impression on anyone who knew him. For those reasons, so many of us are left with a gaping hole in his absence.  His death should not overshadow the huge and full life Tony had. He left behind the love of his life, Lucinda, as well as his 3 amazing daughters, his mother, brothers and sister who loved him unconditionally. Needless to say that he has also left behind many, many friends who held him near to their hearts. Anyone who feels so inclined to donate can rest assured that the funds will go to creating a lasting and memorable tribute that Tony deserves.
