Hard to imagine I will never get to see that smile of yours , or have you call me "Dad" again, but I believe in life after death much the same as you and I know one day we will meet again "Cotton".  Chuck, Marty , Kirby ,Joe Holland, are awaiting your arrival.. Prayers go out to All your Family, Bill and Shirley, Jeff, Roger,Steve, your kiddos and grandkids.. You were loved very much here on Earth, and your sense of giving and generosity to others will be remembered forever.. Only you know why this happened and I like Many others wish I had a chance to change your mind, but that is not a reality.. I will forever keep the memories of you alive , and smile when I think of all the many good times we had .. Know that you are sorely missed by many... 



The hardest part is never getting to say "Goodbye."   My heart aches for everyone......family, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and Oh so many friends.   He was always "Whitey" to me because I could not remember the nickname of "Cotten" given to him by all the firefighters who adored him as a little boy.  It doesn't seem real that he won't be here anymore to spread his kindness, generosity, and that smile of true love.  I miss you already Whitey......I love you long time.....and forever.
Jeff, Nay, Mom, Dad, I love you so much.

Tony was truly one of the nicest people I have ever had the honor of knowing.  He was a sincerely caring man and always had nice things to say about everyone.  My heart goes out to all of Tony's family.  Take comfort in knowing how much Tony was loved by all who knew him.  

Tony was my maintenance man at GE for many years.  I absolutely adored Tony at work and spending time with him at benefits and his BBQ restaurant.  He will truly be missed by many people.  Tony always had a joke to tell or funny comment to share.  Tony lit up every room he walked in to.  We love ya my friend.  RIP! 😘

I was blessed to have met "Tony T" through some great friends of mine. He never greeted you without an "hello, beautiful",  a big kiss on the cheek followed by a big bear hug.  I'll sure miss seeing his bright smile at the many benefits he was passionate about.  I know he'll be with us in spirit going forward on the bike. You will be fondly remembered always.  Watch over us all until we see you again.  Fly free & ride free, Tony, T! 

Crew up with Tony on Vondine Dr off south park rd. Riding bikes playing ball in the street. Always friendly, always happy and smiling.

I met Tony thru my best friend Angie... Wonderful man...may u rest in peace...

Brother..... your smile was always inviting, and worth a million bucks! And you always met me with a hug. I'll miss that.
I'll always remember the day you showed me your newest tattoo, my wife's name, "Kelley", to honor her. Man, what a big heart you had.
I love you, Brother! I will miss you, but will see you again!
Fly High, my friend!

You will be greatly missed Sir...  Your food was delicious and your huge smile contagious...  Will miss my potato salad fix... 
Prayers for your family and friends 

Never saw Tony that he didn’t greet me with a smile, a bear hug and a  hello Beautiful Cousin🙏😇❤️🙏

Where to start....As we all know, Tony was an all around fun-loving guy. He was a best friend to so many people. He loved "Big", he had such a huge heart. His biggest love in life was to do for others. He loved helping people. He was a Master at making people feel loved and special. He had a compliment for every single person he encountered, every single time he saw them. He loved making people smile. My most fond memories are all the times we spent at New View, esp Benefit events, gatherings at the club house, a great, fun week in Panama City, hanging out on the front porch til the early hrs of the morning, just talking, and him cooking for me. Wow, Cooking was definitely another love of his and he was certainly a GREAT cook! I still get tickled when I think of him telling me that he is going to get his grill to bring to my place. This grill was so massive that he had to pull it behind his truck. I had never seen anything like it. We had some pretty good times grilling, too. He was always the best tailgating partner, too. He'd say "I've got everything packed and ready, including your beer now just get yourself ready and lets go" :) He'd run circles around me. Always so full of energy. This community will be forever changed. You were loved by so many and impacted so many people's lives in such a positive way. I just want to say how sorry I am for all his family and friends. May God bring each and every one of you peace and comfort.  Rest easy, Tony T

Tony had truly never met a stranger , I can not truly remember the first time I met him , Tony has just always seemed to be in my life . Tony introduced me to so many people that became lifelong friends. I can not imagine going to New View and not seeing his smiling face or hearing his honest laughter. God must have truly needed a great man at his side. Rest In Peace my friend and brother, you will never be forgotten, your memories will live on in us forever.

To say you were the life of the party would be such an understand statement. With your incredible smile, contagious laugh and unbelievably great personality you lit up the world and people around you.  You will be missed by so many. They say a man's greatest is measured by the lives he has touch in his life time, you my dear were one of the greatest!!  I loved and cherished our friendship thank you for all the smiles and love you have showed me!!!

I can’t just share one memory. It wouldn’t do Tony “Smoke” T justice. There are too many memories that I have that made me smile and my heart bigger because of him. I love you Smoke!!! You will forever be on my mind. I wish I just had one more opportunity to tell you how you much you have impacted just my life. Not to mention all the lives of other. 

Fly high buddy!!! 

Tony always had that big smile and warm, welcoming hugs! I always loved to hear him sing and enjoyed our friendly banter and jokes at New View And other karaoke bars. His warmth and bright personality will be greatly missed!
