I am so sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. I worked with Tony for 14 years at Stock Equipment. He was the nicest man, always asked about my family, and had a wonderful sense of humor. He made me laugh all the time. Sometimes Tony and I would have conversations about life in general and we always shared the same views on many topics. You will be missed by many my friend. Rest in eternal peace.
Your Stock buddy, Paulette

I got to know Tony when he would visit relatives in Evansville, IN. It was always a joy when Tony and Pat would come into the bakery where I worked. I was always touched by his warmth and friendliness. He made me feel like an old friend. He was full of love!!!

When I first got into the power plant industry in the early 90’s I was a young kid. Tony helped me navaigate a product I knew nothing about. We developed a friendship that lasted the next 25+ years. There were many days when I’d call for information on a part and we would “solve the World’s problems” for the next 15 min. I was excited for him when he retired he’d put just a few years in! So sad to hear the news of his passing.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tony since grade school at St. Vitus. We sat across from each other in the cafeteria at St. Joe’s and even bowled together in our freshman year. Tony will always be remembered by me as a great guy.
I wish his family the best

To Tony’s Family,
I am just learning of Tony’s passing today ( June 16). My father and I had a wonderful working relationship with Tony for years and years. We are the Canadian representatives for Stock Equipment and we spoke to Tony almost daily. He was enormously helpful and always had time to share a joke or ask about a family member. He left a big opening the day he retired but we were thrilled for him that he was starting a new journey. Tony was a true friend and a class act. I will always have very fond memories of him. To all of his family, I am sincerely sorry for your loss, such a beautiful man.
