Terry,

I have known you & Tony most all my life, your names were like one word to say one you said the other. To hear about his passing I was shocked. But thinking back when I was young made me smile - The Hair Cuts (Mohawks), I'm sure was not your favorite memory. But nevertheless it is a memory. I'm sorry for your loss of a friend, husband, and father. Take care with love.

Terry and family, I was sorry to hear about Tony. I worked with Tony on many accidents. He was always friendly and hard working. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. He has a big family and friends out here in the public who will never forget him. May God be with all of you and guide you through this difficult time. All our love and prayers are with you and your family.

With a heart full of sorrow we offer our condolences for your loss and the loss of our friend. I wrote this poem many years ago.
Eternal - Springtime
Our tenure on this earth,
Is just a whisper in time.
Through faith and trust in God
He offers eternal-springtime.
Heavenly springtime of life,
A life with no burdens or fears.
A life spent with our Savior,
A life with no more tears.
His suffering now is over,
The lights are never off.
The radiance God now gives,
Transends the dark aloft.
Through tears of love fall at death.
And we grieve so for our loss.
But grieve not for our loved one,
For Tony has seen the cross.
Earthly life has no true predictions,
For what's to come's not known.
The price was paid by Jesus,
I know he has gone home.

It was a true blessing to have known him, and to continue to cherish the blessing of his family.
