My late husband, Darrell, and I really liked Tony. We only hung out a couple of times but they had a good time discussing music and movies. They both had a similar sense of humor. I'm so sorry to hear of Tony's passing and understand what you all are going through. We lost Darrell almost 2 years ago and still are adjusting. Our hearts are with you all during this difficult time.
