Tony will be dearly missed by his wife Carol; sisters, Suzi Fassel (Jim) and Julie Cure (Tom); nieces and nephews, Shannon Parker (Marc), Kristin Lapetina (James), and many more nieces & nephews and grandnephews... and of course, his dog and best friend Fitzie.

Also, special thanks to Dr. Rajan Patel, who helped care for Tony’s many special health needs. Tony graduated from Washburne Trade School.
