Tony loved to be around his children and family more than anything. He enjoyed helping his son work on his vehicle. He liked to draw, enjoyed listening to music, and building model cars. Tony liked to grill out and cook chili. He was thought of as a "grill master" and a champion in chili cooking competition. Most of all Tony enjoyed making people laugh and would try to lift his friends spirits in difficult times.
