Tony found his true joy spending most of his time on his property. At his log cabin in Westerlo is where he felt most at ease. It didn’t matter to him if he was mowing his fields, riding his ATV, hunting or just taking a walk around his property, that was his happy place. Tony was also an avid sportsman at heart, with trout fishing, hunting, camping is what he truly enjoyed. However, his most cherished moments were spent with his family, friends and his beloved dog Jack. Whether it was at a family gathering, a trip to Field and Stream or an annual camping trip to Putt’s Pond, Tony always had wonderful stories to tell. Tony was a devoted member of the South Westerlo Congregational Christian Church for many years. It was not only a place of worship and community, but also the groundwork of his faith, inspiring his consistent willingness to help out others in need.
