I met Tony in the early spring of 2009 as an lds missionary. We were able to meet a few times with him and had many fun and enlightening conversations with him. He taught us a lot and was sound in his advice he shared about life. I have always thought a lot about our interaction and continually consider myself lucky to have met him and interacted with him. He will always be a happy memory to me of someone who genuinely cared about his fellow man. He represented well the people I grew to love there in my time in Wisconsin.
