I remember Tony from going to visit my mom Anna Larose, who passed the same day. It was clear his wife was very dedicated to him. My thought and prayers go out to all his family. Both Tony and Anna are in better places now, free of the confines of their failing bodies.
Evelyn, I was sorry to read that Tony had passed away. You two were such nice people. If I had known in time I would have been at the funeral. Bless you in your sorrow. May McKinnon
