Ileen….
It is so hard for anyone to convey their complete sadness of the loss of a great friend.
Tony was a friend, a mentor. Someone that I could not only look up too, but I know that anyone he touched in his life with, he made them a better person.
Tony… Thank you for being part of our lives… From me and all that will remember your greatness.
Laurel Lavalle
My deepest condolences to the family and especially to Tony’s mother. Tony’s beloved grandchildren Hudson and Katie have lost a loving grandfather. They are fortunate to have spent the time enjoying him and Ileen. A terrible loss for his children and friends and especially those little ones who had such a short time with him.

We are still in shock. Our deepest sympathy to you and your and Tony’s families. Tony was an exceptional colleague and a wonderful person. I will always fondly remember the Niagara bus trips. The overwhelming attendance at the funeral is a testament to the high regard in which many held Tony. It hurts now, but we know you will be strong. We will be in touch soon. God bless you.
