It never gets easier daddy.  I miss you every day and I live the way you showed me -  everyday there is a reason to be kind and sarcastic! :-)   You are so missed and so loved.  Please kiss momma for me and tell her that  I love you both beyond what I could ever explain.  

Forever, 

Your little girl

My entire heart is with you Misty and the family. Your strength, dedication and commitment to Tony is and was unquestionably selfless.  I had not seen Tony in quite some time and although he had not been talking, I said to him what I used to say "Tony you are my favorite". He opened his eyes,  and I said "I love you" and he said "I love you too" - We did this at least 3 times and my heart was absolutely full. His smile and and off the cuff wit (that you certainly got from him) will be what I will remember most. He was/is a great man, so I am not surprised that you are as amazing as you are. I love you to pieces and back again my sister. Tony and Ruby together again!

I am so sorry to hear of Tonys passing. I know that all of your class mates from 1955  have great memories of you, You were always every ones friend. And of course all the girls had a crush on you.(including me) .Our class was small and that made us all close friends. Our 65th class reunion was held out hear at my home in Land O Lakes. Tony had the wrong date and showed up a week early. He knocked on the door and  i went to open the door. Tony said this is the first time that I have ever been the first one to an event. I felt bad and told him the reunion was the following week. He just smiled and said "Well you are going to help me eat some of this damn chicken then! He  will be missed!  Irene


I met Tony when I came into the Williams family.  He was always so kind and sweet and made me feel so welcome to the family. Rest in peace my friend with Ruby Nell and your parents.  We will meet again some day.  Much love to the family.

My memories of Pepo are when we were young & my family (Frank & Lillie) would visit his mother, Aunt Cusa. My brothers & I would play in the fields & in the dairy to watch the milking. Aunt Cusa would call all the cows by name. Later when I married, Pepo & his uncle would deliver milk to my home. My four girls were raised on Tony’s dairy milk. When we moved to Lutz, they didn’t deliver that far. My 2 youngest, Sharon & Toni Lynn, had a hard time adjusting to other milk. As we got older we would only see each other at family affairs. Pepo would always greet me with a hug & smile. & we would catch up on life. He loved his family & they  always came first.  Sending prayers to him & his family.


Don & I spent many good times with Ruby & Tony. They were always so kind & loving. Both love their family more than anything.  They are together again celebrating their reunion. Love you, Ruby & Tony. Rest in peace, Pipo.

Oh, the memories he and Ruby Nell left behind and the joy that they have been reunited.



My father was the most humble, gentle, beautiful creature on this earth.  He smiled with his eyes & he always cared for others.

He kept a clean yard, cooked everything on high heat, and loved to be sarcastic.  I am pretty much a replica of him and for that, I am forever grateful.  

He always took care of all of us, but I can only speak from my perspective.  I was a daddy's girl.. from day one.  My mom used to say that he babied me, maybe so.. I loved it.  He let me braid his hair at horse shows in between my classes.  He let us make jokes and say he looked like Freddy Fender and give him a hard time and he loved it.  

Even when he was without mom and at his home, then the Assisted living, his first thoughts were everyone else.  Was I sleeping enough, was he asking too much from the nurse.  Was everyone else ok.  

His legacy is forever kindness & love.  He was captain of his football team and my mom the head cheerleader.  They never were boastful people.  He was so handsome and she beautiful.  He was the milkman, (lechero) taking us on routes in the milk truck when we were little.  Memories that I will never forget all the way up to bringing him home from the Alf to sit in the back yard & visit the dogs, giving us advise on what to do with the plants.   Hospital days then hospice. 

Friday night before he died we did what we loved.. We watched HGTV, he loved to tell me that Hillary from love it or list it would look nice if she fixed her self up.  He ate three kernels of popcorn (he loved it)  and had a sip of water.  and that was our last vocal night together.  The next days it would just be me who was vocal.  I let him know he was never alone, and forever loved & I would in this life, and the next, always be his baby girl & that when he was ready, I was ready. 

I laid beside him for hours, watching the blanket fall and rise till it fell for the final time.  

Forever my love.  I'm beside you.
