He will be dearly missed by many nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews. A very special thank you to Lily, whose exceptional care and beautiful smiling face provided Tony with such comfort and joy Tony was a man of many talents. After retiring from Dofasco, he immediately signed up for computer courses and learned to create beautiful personalized cards that he freely gave to friends and family. His other passion was for cars, and always had the nicest one in the lot. In his spare time, he also built furniture!
Despite his many hobbies, he prioritized making time for family, who always could count on his kind smile and a joke, or two. Tony’s heart of gold was accompanied by a joyful laugh that would fill a room. His sincere and generous spirit and his boundless love for life, will be remembered by all who knew him. A reunion occurred in heaven this week Of the sweetest and most joyful kind As Tony’s spirit moved beyond this earth Released from his mortal life And what a reunion it must have been! A joy beyond our conceiving When Tony met Anna in heaven again Ending his dignified grieving And we are certain Anna is still holding Tony’s hand While he cherishes each moment by her side And they’re experiencing the joy of being together again Catching up on the time they were denied We are confident they are also looking over us Hoping this happiness will lessen our pain As we contemplate the joy that they finally feel Now that they are together again For the rest of us…the days will always be brighter because he existed, the nights will always be darker because he’s gone.
