"Who's Your Buddy? Who's Your Pal?" Was
always his statement to his friends. His life's
work was installing carpet. He was very well
known for his work.

"My fondest memories of my Uncle Tony are all the times he came to my rescue as a protector. Just to
name a few things. When I was little and Uncle Tony came to stay with us after his time in the service, my
mom was so frustrated with my unbrushed long messy hair that she swore to cut it off, well Uncle Tony
sat down and combed my hair out with the patients of a saint. He always scanned who I was dating and
told me his opinion immediately. He really did not believe that any guys were good enough for his niece.
I also remember him coming to my rescue on my wedding day by telling my brother in law off in the
middle of the reception dinner. I love him and will miss him dearly." - Janquell Blosser (niece) 2/15/07

"His people (friends and family) meant everything to him, I pray he knows we all felt the same about him,
I think of him often, he's no longer physically here, but will always be in my heart. :)" - Tami Brunke

"I grew up with him running around with my little brother David. They were so much alike. Good friends
all their lives! He came over with my brother Dave and laid carpet for me too. Like you said, he was good
at it. He knew his stuff. He came to my surprise 50th birthday party. He always referred to me as sis like
David did. I'll miss him! Good to see this memorial in his honor!" - Beth Hafer (friend) 2/15/07

"Tony and I were always close, I guess I filled the place of the brother he never had. :) I loved him dearly
and always will. I have so many memories from our childhood. We were always together... riding bikes at
the old bike jump in our neighborhood, playing ball at this little park, swimming in Little Paw Paw lake, or
just hanging out. Later in life we grew even tighter, we partied together all the time and there was never a
time I needed him that he wasn't there for me, nor me there for him. He was fun to be around and if he
loved you, that love was strong! Tony had a big heart and a strong will. He had one Son (Tony Jr.)Who
meant the world to him. He went threw allot to gain custody of him and even though they didn’t always
get along, He always loved his Son and done all he could for him.
I remember all his expressions; Anger, Fear, Troubled, Worried, Frustrated at times, but when I think of
him now I think of him smiling. He had a Beautiful Smile and I think of him ridding a Harley in Heaven. I
Love you Tony! Nothing can take away the pain of being here without you until I see your face again.
With Gods Grace I will.." - Patty Caprez (Gibson) (sister) 2/14/07

"I have known Tony and his family since he was in diapers. I married his sister in 1997 and he became my
Brother in Law. Tony seemed to agree with this marriage and welcomed me to his family. Tony was one
of a kind, he was tall and slim and always talking so
he was known as TTTT (to tall talking tony)to me and his sister Patty. Tony was always there for us as we
were for him. Sometimes he was a pain in the rear but never the less we loved him with all our hearts. I'll
never forget the nights he needed my help at 2 in the morning and out of bed Patty and I would jump out
of bed and go to his aid. At the time I was getting tired of it but I would give all I have just to do it ONE
MORE TIME. I really don't think that Tony really knew how missed he would be or how much he was
really loved, but he was by many. I just hope that where ever he is he understands this now. I miss that
skinny shit. Tony I hope that you have every thing you ever wanted now and are enjoying your ever after.
Love you Bro - MadMan" (brother-in-law) 2/15/07

"My memories of Tony go way back to grade school, he is truly missed, since I moved to Indiana the
reason I would go back to Michigan was to see my sister beth or to visit tony. It took a while to deal with
Tony's passing and then I come to this memorial for him and the tears returned. But I can assure you he
is in a better place, so really its our loss-his gain.
Love you my friend!!" - Dave Clements (friend) 12/15/07

"Tony We all miss you so much. I think about at least once every day, I'll remember you calling in the
mornings as I was getting ready for work, and always telling me that I had time to talk to you... I wish I
could hear your voice just once more telling me that "your the boss you can be late" you always ended
with OK then "get er done." so I now tell myself get er done every morning as I go off to work. I know
that you are in a better place and that you have no more pain, and that makes it bearable for me to let you
go. Love you always bro." - Lovedia (sister) 2/18/07

"Everybody who nows Tony, nows his brother Jackie Ray, I grew up with Tony all my life,his Mother is
also my mother, who i love very much. Tony and myself grew up together playing FIGHTING racing
car,riding our Harley Davidsons side by side. Every time i flew to Michigan i always had a home at
brother Tonys. The hardest thing was making that last flight to Michigan to carry my Brother on his other
journey. He's riding high and hard in Harley Davidson Heaven,looking down watching us saying who's
your buddy who's who's your pal. That'll be brother Tony. O yes he is one of a kind. Tony will always be
in my heart, i'll always keep him alive as long as i am. Brothers for ever." - Jackie Ray Whitaker (brother)
