I knew Tony from my sister Tammy Carstens. They work together at AT&T for many years. Tony was like a part of our family. He knew all our secrets and he kept them well. He kept up on what was going on with her family unfortunately I was able to talk to Tony a couple weeks ago. He called me. We had a wonderful talk my heart just breaks That he has moved on I know he said heaven and I know he is happy and he is no longer sick . I just found out about his passing today. I wanted so so much to make sure that I sent flowers and other members of the family wanted to attend his funeral.. I live out of state in Florida, but I wanted to send at least flowers. Just want the family to know he was very much loved and will always stay in our heart. May peace be with him……… lorna

Tony was a beautiful soul. He loved life to the fullest. When his body didn’t allow him to do what he loved (travel), he still fought back. He will be remembered always for his sweet, genuine kindness. And love for life. ❤️❤️❤️ Love, forever and always, Your sister.
