I am so sorry to hear about Tony. I just found a few days ago that he had passed a whole year ago. Tony and I went to Aquinas together and spent quite a bit of time together throughout the high school years, and man did we have a blast!!! Tony was one of the most honest, in your face, trustworthy people I have ever had the privileage to have had in my life. I was and am still proud to call him a friend. Even though we lost touch after high school I could always count on seeing Tony at the good old Route 66 every year. Tony will always hold a special place in my heart. Bill and Debi you have my deepest condolensces from myself as well as my parents Lucille and Steve.
We Love You Tony Tiffany

Missing the leader of the pack / Steve Toth (friend)
The first time I met Tony, was at Bill's house. I had recently met Bill and Debi on a ride with friends. I had just moved to Cherry Valley and thought I'd stop by to see how monster garage was doing? Tony and his Bill approached me. Tony, hat turned backwards on head, beer in hand says, " Hey, what do you want?", in that Badass attitude he had. The last time I saw Tony, was at his parents house. It was St. Patricks Day. Tony was taking Mady and Macy to Roy's kids baseball game. Who would have thought? Although I said, see ya later, I never said good by because I expected to see Tony again, soon. As a parent myself I know the demands and sacrifaces we must make to make our kids happy and even then, sometimes it's not enough. But I do not know how it feels to lose someone thats your living spirit, your flesh and blood, your child. Yes, it's one of the givens in life, but it's not suppose to happen till later in life. I want you to know that I think of Tony often, and he'll always be in my head. Love Steve
missing you / Patti Mady told me she wanted to be a baby again. I asked her why and she said so daddy could hold me. There is a deep emptiness in kim. She misses you sooo much. let them feel that you are always around them. wrap them tightly in your wings and let them feel your love/presence.
Sorry it took so long / Jen Flesher (Flesher in law )
Tony-
I know it has takin me a while to write to you, but believe it or not it took me this long to think about what I should say. I just got off the phone with Kim, and no matter what we talk about or the time that goes by, I can still hear the pain in her voice like it was yesterday.
Even though I didn't know you as well at Kim or Tom, I still miss you. I miss seeing you at family events. You were the one person I looked forward to seeing. When I married Tom, I remember thinking about how you welcomed me into your family long before. I remember a time before Tom and I got married, when we had brought up dinner to the house, and you had invited us to start coming up more often so we could hang out. I really wish we would have taken you up on that.
I really wish you could have stayed, I wish I could have known you better. You left behind, a mom a dad a wife and two beautiful girls, and they truly truly love you so much. I will never forget you, and the good heart you had. I know that your still watching over your family, like a good son, husband, father, and friend you were.
Dear Tony, / Mom Tossed and turned in bed since around midnite and when I realized tears had soaked the pillow I knew I had to get up and write this letter. I can still remember a year ago when the phone rang in the middle of the night. It was 1:20am and we were told, "Tony's been in an accident".
What? When? How? Why?
I know its difficult for some to understand the roller coaster of emotions we went thru that nite. Trying to keep our hope alive we rushed out the door, driving towards what we thought would be a hospital room but instead ended in the middle of the desert, where we were told you didn't make it! At that moment, I fell to my knees as if someone had punched me in the gut, I couldn't breathe and your life was sucked from my very soul.
The hurt is still there - but a year later I'm beginning to breathe again. Sometimes when I talk about you, it's as though you're at work, home or just around the corner. You were and still are so much a part of our lives and everyday conversations.
I can only describe the pain as it relates to how much I love you, but I have no doubt you know that! I'm not sure I want the pain to go away because that's what keeps you alive and close in my heart.
I love you son. Always have, always will!
time/ Patti today i went to your site w/m&m. Your girls washed all your rocks/picture and Mady shared her quesadilla w/you, then Mady starting asking alot of questions "why". I didn't have answers. even though the calender says its a year, it seems like time has stood still. there is still so much sadness/pain. when it was time to leave mady huged your cross and would not let go. she said she did not want to leave her daddy. kimmy tries to be strong but there is such an emptiness in her and your mom/dad. wrap your wings very tightly around them. I love/miss you
true love / Patti
since you left, I have witnessed what true love really means. You are such a huge part of kimmy and when that part was taken away the love you shared was intensified. She hurts down to her soul. You truely are her one true love. she has such a hard job ahead of her w/out you. wrap your wings around her tightly and help her down this road. she feels so alone/lost without you, let her know you have never left her side and will always be there. i miss you
To Family / Adam Anderson (Friend) This is addressed to whomever reads it. My name is Adam Anderson. Tony and I played Baseball together years ago. I Joined the military shortly after highschool and have only been home (to California) a few times in the past 10 years. My mother sent me an e-mail with a link to this website knowing that I knew Tony. I just wanted to offer my condolences to his family as I am sure he will be dearly missed.
Moments in Life / Mom "This is a reprint/borrowed from the Big D & Bubba show and expresses alot of the same emotions and feelingsI have had during the past 11 months:
Moments in Life
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
