May you spend your rest playing pool and darts with Dale! You will be missed for your humor and your raw truth telling, even though most saw it as being an a**hole!
Bekah and Little Tony, all of his family and friends, I am truly sorry for your loss. Tony was a great father, brother, son, family and friend to so many people. I know he is and always will be truly missed by all. I know his loss is deeply felt by so many of us. Tony and my father had been friend for a majority of mine and Bekah’s lifetime. They were close like brothers, both being a part of the same teams and motorcycle clubs. Now he, Dale and Hippie are together once again, giving heaven a little bit of hell. Rest in Peace Tony.
