Hello my brother in the Lord Tony. I am sure going to miss seeing your face light up when I would bring little Khalil Grayson to you and you would say," Oh give papa his little man"! And you would hug him so tight while he would pat your face. You were a shining example of a family man, and you will be missed.

My best friend. My hero. The person who loved me when I was unlovable. Dad, you taught me so much. Softball, basketball, music, racing, how to love, how to be stubborn, how to accept, how to be goofy and be okay with it. I am so much like you it’s scary.. the way we laugh at the dumbest things or care for people without hesitation. I can never put into words how thankful I am that I had you as my father.. I was daddy’s little girl from the second I was born til the second you took your last breath. Honestly I’ll always be daddy’s girl. I remember you looking at me in the last moments of your life. I knew you were telling me it was going to be okay. And im thankful for that moment.. I love you and mom more than I’ve ever loved anyone in my entire life. Thank you for everything. I’m not okay at all right now if I’m being honest.. but knowing you’re beside me the rest of my life.. I’ll be okay one day. I love you Daddy. So much.

Anne, I was sad to hear of Tony's passing. He was such an encouragement to me when I was Interim Min.Of Music at Forestville. He was one who always checked on me when I had my health issues last year. He will be greatly missed. Sharon and I are praying for you and your family.
