I'd like to Thank You, my friend Tony, for being you. You were certainly a great inspiration to a young kid like me back in the day. Your determination throughout all aspects of life - especially on the court - was absolutely a driving force to me. For sure I'd like to thank you for supporting my efforts yearly during the Brentwood 4th of July 5K. I knew I could always depend on hearing from Tony on the Brentwood High hill. Stay safe and RIP until we meet again on the court of life.

I graduated with Lynn and knew Tony mostly through some of his high school friends. He may have been one of the many in that class who I "taught" to drive in my dad's '62 Ford Galaxy 500 convertible! I remember him being a sweet person who found a soul mate in Lynn. I can picture you in my mind's eye, Tony and remember you with fondness.

Tony married my Aunt Lynn. He would explain to me, multiple times, how he crushed on Lynn in High School and how lucky he was to have my "Aunt Lynnie". He was still lucky to have her in the end, to help take care of him and his needs. Tony introduced to me basketball in the early 90s. He gave me my first leather, basketball. It was special to me! I'm pretty sure it was from the South Park HS Lady Eagles team which he coached for several years. Aunt Lynn would take me to see the team play, and ironically, now I live in South Park! Those memories are sparked time-to-time as I go to SP sporting events. Then, Tony was lucky to have his one and only, Jordan! He was beyond excited to have a son. I have many memories of Tony, including him coaching, reffing, and for giving us our smart and talented son, Jordan! ~My condolences to Aunt Lynn, Jordan, Marlene and Tony's family and friends~
