" Tony graduated from Robinson Secondary School in 1982 where he made many life-long friends. For those fortunate enough to have known Tony knew that although he had a gruff demeanor, he was warm and kind inside. He loved his family and friends and wanted nothing more than to recover from his hospitalization to get back on his feet so he could be with, and visit everyone. Unfortunately, because of the complexity of his recovery, that wasn’t meant to be. Tony’s career in construction/home-improvement spanned many decades, but his aptitude in this craft actually started very young (Elementary School) and continued as he got older by taking vocational classes in High School to sharpen and expand these skills. While Tony’s knowledge in construction was unquestionable, for which he made it a career, he had an innate passion for cooking. During his lengthy hospital stay, even when he couldn’t eat anything, he watched the Food Network and made plans, and grocery lists, for a variety of dinner options. He loved cooking so much; he was planning to start with a food truck so he could take it anywhere and share his gift with others. The world lost a kind and thoughtful person and won’t be the same without him, but his pain is now gone and is now at peace. "
