At family gatherings, you could find him strumming out tunes on the porch while his kids, siblings, or nieces and nephews gathered around him and sang along. Tony had a dream of becoming a stand up comedian and was able to perform on stage, bringing laughter to many as he did in his every day life. In his younger years he played softball and once he had kids of his own, umpired, and coached his childrens teams. Tony spent time as a Karaoke DJ and was known to grab the mic and sing any chance he got. He loved to grill and cook for his family and had an immense love of giraffes. He was always the life of the party, lighting up any room he occupied. He loved to make people laugh, most often with outrages jokes, impressions, and off-the-wall antics. But most of all Tony loved being with his family. He was so proud of his children and loved them with every part of his being.
