Sadly I never got to meet Tony for real, just on the internet. I knew him as a huge gamer and horror geek, someone that was usually watching or playing something I wanted to do. I could ask him questions about stuff and I learned about many games and movies from him and Christine. I also knew him to show his love for Christine in the coolest ways. I know I'm not the only one going to sorely miss him.

My favorite memory of Tony was at a friend's wedding. There were these paper cranes on the table for decoration. Tony and decided that the cranes were hungry. So we cleared of a bread plate and gave them some food. As we're "feeding" the cranes Christine and my husband Tim looked at us like we were nuts. "What are you two doing?" Christine asked. "We're feeding the birds. They're hungry." They both rolled thier eyes and went back to eating. "It's like they don't even know us!" He told me. And yes the birds did get some cake too. I love Tony and he will be missed greatly. He was always a positive light in my life. We shared a love of found footage horror films, silly things (like feeding paper birds), and debating which of the Silly songs with Larry were the best. There are so many great memories that I have to look back on and look forward to sharing with those that love him as well. We love you Tony.

Meeting and speaking to Tony at Texas Frightmare was the best. I fell in love with his accent. He was sitting next to Christine on the couch in the lobby of the hotel star watching. Watching him watch her as she spoke you could see the love in his eyes. He will be missed by many!!

I first met Tony was from working at Barnes and Noble. We bonded over our love for video games and movies(all types of movies). This was the first person I knew who knew about the same or sometimes a lot more on those two subjects. I loved his senses of humor. He was so funny. He was a very hard worker and equally as a friend. I loved his stories from England in which he had many. He was such a great guy even if he wasn't feeling good he would just deal with you. He never complained about his headaches in which he got them often. He always talked about how much he loved his wife and how they was so much alike. I was so much happy for them both because they was soul mates. I'm really gonna miss Tony. He was a person that stuck with me and I never forgot his kindness towards me or will ever forget about him. I'm gonna miss our talks and going to miss our chance to start playing video games again. We wasn't as close as we once was after I didn't work for B&N anymore but I always consider him still a friend. I'm still shocked and sadden by his passing but I know his not suffering or in pain anymore. I'm gonna miss you my friend.

I first met Tony at Barnes and Nobles. He was helping me find a book I had been trying to find for months. Then I found out he was married to an old friend of mine, Christine. I was so happy when I found out that she had found someone that loved her and treated her so wonderfully. You could tell how much he loved her, just from the way his voice would change when he was talking about her. He was such a great friend, and a great man. Always friendly to everyone he met. He will be greatly missed.
