Tony I have picked the phone up several to share a recipe or an update on a recipe..I sure do miss you BUT-I know all is well
love

Daddy, I miss you so much. I wish you were here. My life is missing so much without you.

As a teenager I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Tony. He made me feel like I had Known him for years. As time passed I would run into him around town and it was like we had talked the day before. I always sensed he was a "go to man" in times of need. The kind of man that put family and friends first. I havent seen Mr. Tony in years, but as I type this, I can honestly say that I liked Mr. Tony very much and will always remember him.

Dear Dad! I couldnt ask for a better Father, you gave me a founderful life and i will never forget all that you have given me and the sacrifices you made to make sure that i had a 4 wheeler to get around the neighborhood with my friends as a child, a car that i could get my wheelchair in as a teenager and a golf cart to get around campus at college. there wasnt anything that i ever lacked of especially Love.
I was lucky enough to grow up with two parents that love each other deeply and to have your example to follow of a Loving Father and Husband.
When i moved to Florida all my friends still came to the house even if i wasnt there to see you and ask for your wisdom in there life, You were a father to many. I miss you more than you could imagine! I look forward to the day that we meet again in Heaven. I Love You! Lentz

Daddy! How in the world do I accept the fact that physically you’re not here anymore? You have always been the most special and loved man of my life. I realize there is a time and place for all that we endured. God says he will never put more on us than we can handle. Right now I am pushing his limits for peace and mercy.

You have always motivated and advised me while teaching me so much about life and above all to seek God’s will at all times. To love, share and have compassion for all.

Along this road of life, you and I have been so much alike. To be like you is the greatest achievement I will ever accomplish. Just last week I was on the lot going to greet a couple when I heard the lady say “Oh my God, there’s Little Tony”. Sometimes there are no words to describe such an awesome father. Growing up was easy and fun with you.

We always said you could make a glass of ice water look so good. I grew up watching you cook for friends and family every Saturday or Sunday. Right now with everyone busy with your memorial arrangements, all I can think about is what I can cook for everyone. Get them together for food, fun and fellowship and maybe our hearts can be filled with a special moment.

I remember you and I spending three months to find a boat (because it had to fit all 26 people in our family and be that great deal too!) so we could spend time fishing together. And guess what? We did.

The old saying “It is better to have loved and loose someone than not to know that love at all” is very powerful. Every day of my life I will cherish and hold on to all that I shared with you, remembering every step of the way to do as you taught me. Praying daily that when I get to see you again, I will look back and people will remember me as they are you right now.

Daddy, there are not enough words to describe how much I love and miss you. Please don’t worry because, I promise I will join you one day.

P.S. You have plenty of time so please find me a 1970 Red Mach I Mustang convertible at a Great Price.

God Blessed You,
All my love,
Tina
