Tony was such a caring and loving person. He lived life to the fullest! I have such special memories of times with Tony! He stayed with us a while in his younger days and he was my running buddy! Many races down Mooresville Hwy, to see his grandmother. It a wonder we weren't caught and put in jail! We didn't fear anything! I also thought of him as a brother! When his family would come down and visit, Tony would stay with us and we had the best time! Rest in Peace my sweet Tony!
Kathy, prayers!
