I don't know if you want to use this on the site but i think that maybe this will help. One thing I will always remember about Tony was in our senior year be walking to class and the refrain of wheezer's "Say it ain't so" ringing through the hallway. Tony was indeed the special guy that everyone is talking about, but there was so much more to him. I can't claim that i knew well but i did respect him even if at the same time i was thinking he was being a total smartass, but that was Tony. I remember the last summer i spent time with him, we were sitting at the pool hall and for what ever reason Tony just felt this total need to show me something but wouldn't tell me what it was. Turns out that he wanted to show me how the fluid from a lighter will set on fire just a little bit of time and never hurt. Tony was and always be someone i think about and just smile. From his mismatching socks to his bright and big smile Tony just had something about him. He had such a way with word and thought that unless you kept up with him you would be lost forever. The world is missing out on someone warm, kind, caring, creative, funny, and so honest cause he was all of those things. I'll end this with the simplest of thoughts, Tony we miss you.
