Tony touched the hearts of many by offering his various employment skills, such as auto repair. He earned respect from those who sought his help as he was willing to lend a hand. In his spare time, Tony could be found on the waters as he enjoyed various boats with a fishing rod in hand, enjoying the peaceful tranquility of each catch and spending time with family and friends. Tony enjoyed preparing meals and managing the home while others worked as he was retired.

Tony was baptized by immersion at Parsons Baptist Church and was a former Obetz Christian Church member.
