My sweet uncle Tony. The funniest and most loyal person I ever meet. My mom and Dad adored you as did anyone who knew you. Your love was genuine and I am forever grateful to have known you in this life. I know that you, Aunt Cheryl and Dad are looking upon us and are in a much better place. Until we meet again, God speed.
Nick, you said it all….Uncle Tony was the man! Such a joy to be around…He genuinely and authentically cared about others…I am so grateful for the times we spent together. Those times fishing and hunting are bucket list experiences for me. I have a lifetime of good thoughts and good times spent with and at Tony and Cheryl’s house growing up…I am so sad for Uncle Tony’s passing and will miss him…They broke the mold on him for sure…..
The Bell family will forever miss Tony. He always had a little grin, reached out for a hug and loved his family. And we loved him. Will miss him till we meet again.
The family is in my thoughts and prayers.. Mark Baire told me that TONY was his favorite uncle and taught him alot. TONY YOU WILL BE MISSED!! MAY YOU RIP.
love and prayers to Karen, Joyce, Tim, Andrea, Anthony and all the family.. We loved our Tony so. We’ll never forget that smile and that LITTLE streak of orneriness
