Tony was born on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and moved to New York early in his life. His character developed at a young age as he made sacrifices for a better life for him and his siblings. Virtues like goodness, generosity, temperance, humility would be at the forefront of his character and easily recognized by those who met him.

Tony was also a foundation of knowledge and always a source of inspiration. He was self-taught and dexterous in many traits. The mechanic in him loved tinkering with cars many of which belonged to family and friends. The constructor in him always found ways to improve people's houses. The bonsai tree and mini-air plane enthusiast in him loved learning new hobbies and the camaraderie that followed.
