Simeon Bartz wrote a sympathy message

“I meet Tony on a business trip in Kalamazoo Michigan. Through that trip I started to know him after several long discussions we had. I really came to admire his principles. He was so proud of his family. He would talk about his kids all the time. When I heard of his loss... it hurt. We will truly miss him here at work. Not just because of his skills and knowledge but because he would light up our days, when we would talk to him. He was a good man.”

Wayne & Lisa Eigenmann wrote a sympathy message

“I worked with Tony in Huntersville for 2 decades. He was always one of the smartest people in the room and one of the most passionate. But if you knew him well, you knew he LOVED his family and especially his kids. He was always telling stories about past vacations to Myrtle Beach and how he looked forward to the next. I saw him recently in Las Vegas, and he was glowing - very happy about his new job and again loved to talk how great his family was doing. He will be missed.”
