One of his greatest achievements was his 38 years of sobriety, a testament to his strength, perseverance, and dedication to a life of purpose. He became a beacon of hope and support for many walking the same path, always offering words of encouragement and an open heart.

Tony will be deeply missed, but forever remembered in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, resilience, and redemption will live on through his family and the countless lives he touched.
