Mary and Truck,

We are so sorry for your loss. Tony was such an inspiration on Lindsey and she had so much love for him and her teammates while playing for him. He taught her how to compete and that will always live within her. Tony showed her the way to be a college calliber softball player. His devotion to taking on "projects" to make them better players is something all coaches should follow. Rest in Peace, Tony. I will miss standing around your truck at the ballpark!

Mary, Girls, Aunt Mary Pat, Uncle Stan,

What can be said, I don't know. I will write from my heart as it pains as everyone's does who was touched by Tony. A precious Thoughtful kindhearted person, who I watched grow from a small boy and admired the Man he became. He meet Mary Rose, fell in Love, together they made and raised 3 beautiful girls, the love of his life.

Thank you my Dear Cousin, friend, brother for the fond memories which will be cherished for ever. Which brings to mind one as you where maybe around 8 or 9 years old. When I was around 21, your Mom let me take you along with my two little brothers John and Thom for a week camping and boating trip to the Ozark's and Northern Arkansas. Oh Boy! What was I thinking, 3- young boys a week's trip, 3 good meals a day and watch out for all of you. The laughter that came out of the little Datsun pickup from you guys was super, which has stayed with me all these years, such FUN you guys had. Again thank you for all the fond memories and being a part of my life. Life gives us no guarantees, each day is precious so in your memory we will live each day to its fullness, take nothing for granted, smile at each person we meet, brush off the small aches and pains, enjoy watching the grass grow, the birds sing, the sun coming up in the mornings and have kind words for all we meet in your memory Tony as you would want and hope we would do. You will be forever in my heart. I miss you.

We enjoyed Tony so much here at Local 41. He was lovingly referred to as "one of the girls" because his office was out front with us. He just smiled and took it in stride. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was always respectful, considerate and very helpful. He would do whatever we asked him to with no complaints. Tony has a special place in our hearts and everyone here is going to miss him very much. Mary -- you and your family are in my prayers. May God Bless.

I am so sorry for your loss, your family as well as all of those with me who cherished the memories of their times with Tony will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will always remember his love of life and cherish the friendships and memories we all had during our Rosedale and Harmon years. I remember Tony talking me into jumping off a 40' cliff while on a Science Club canoe trip. It was the fact that I knew I could trust him to save me if something went wrong that allowed me to experience that amazing adventure. I'm sure there is a party going on in heaven because they just received another amazing individual. We are so sad to hear of his passing!

Aunt Mary, Uncle Stan, Mary Rose and girls; Tony was a big part of my early years growing up and I will remember the fun things we did together and his humor throughout his life. I am sad that we did'nt spend more time together. GOD Bless him and you. Let us know how we can help.

Mary and family, such a shock. From the day I met the Carr family at the ball field I knew I needed Tony to couch our girls-the team that became known as "Impact" What a pleasure it was to watch those girls learn, grow and mature under his guidance. We are fortunate to have had Tony in our lives.
Love you all.
