Our sincere condolences to Grace and the family of Tony. We have so many happy memories of our golf outings and other get togethers, and all the laughs when Tony was around. He was such a fine and generous person, and we missed seeing him as much as we all settled and aged. It is good to know he was a Christian and at peace now with the Lord.
