A dedicated professional, Tony worked as a contractor and concrete finisher. A high school graduate, he approached his work with the same precision and care he brought to his many hobbies. Tony was a man of diverse interests; he found peace in fishing and panning for gold, joy in dancing, and a creative outlet in woodworking. He was a talented musician who loved to play the guitar and was well known by friends and family as a joker who could brighten any room. Above all, he cherished the time he spent with his beloved nephews.
