    My favorite memory is riding around singing Christmas carols from Alvin and the Chipmunks! We were blessed to have him in our lives. We all learned not to take life so seriously!

    He is my oldest cousin. Loved to fish and a great influence on me when he visied my mother and me after his military service. At his lead we were a pair to draw to when I spent time with him about 6 years ago. Bless him well. PEG is a saint

    Tony was my best and dearest friend in high school. We worked farms together and many other things during those years. I remember a 4th of July that he, John, my brother Lyle and I went to the Lake of the Ozarks. We rented a boat and cruised the Lake. Because we didn’t have much money, we slept in the car. I am not sure how all of us did that.

    We have not been in contact much since then. When he was active on FB he often made remarks to me. I am sorry I can’t be there for the service but know I am thinking of all of you.

    Very sorry Peg to hear of Tony’s Passing. We always enjoyed visiting with him when you were at Jean’s house. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
