I enjoyed working with Tony at JSU when he headed the AV Department. He was always helpful and ran a fine operation. My condolences to his family, he was a really fine person.

Tony was a dear friend and mentor when we worked together at JSU. He had so many amazing stories. He always supported my DJ'ing side hustle and even sold me some equipment that I still use to this day. He was the AV GURU. Tony's personality and vibe were unmatched. He was always fun to be around and the best hang. I loved watching him pursue his interests wether it was motorcycles, jetski's, house renovations, etc. He would find something he was interested in, and dive in head first. He always had some really cool projects going on. Sending all my love to Angela and the whole family <3 we'll miss you Tony!
when I was about 18 and Tony was 21 we went to Atlanta where he just had moved and spent the weekend and we had the greatest weekend. He was staying in the trailer park close to Six Flags and I remember his car messed up so we had to ride his motorcycle and there I was on the back of his motorcycle going through Atlanta and we stopped at the varsity and everything LOL.
One time when I was about 18 and Tony was 21 going to Atlanta he had just moved there in a trailer park close to Six Flags and man we had a great weekend. His car messed up so we had to ride his motorcycle so there I was riding on the back in Atlanta we went to the varsity and everything LOL many great memories with Tony that was only one of them rest in peace brother.

Working with Tony over the years at JSU was always a pleasure. We were friends, and I'm glad we were able to meet for lunch a couple of times before his illness made getting out difficult. He truly was one of the good guys, and I'll miss him.
I'll remember Tony from our JSU days, especially eating at the cafe, where many a spirited discussion took place. Angela, so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy and we'll miss him.
