May 23, 2023 at 7:29 pmI’m so sorry to learn of Tony’s passing. Some of my best memories are with him, quad riding, listening to the band practice and play out. I will keep his loved ones in my prayers during this difficult time. RIP

May 27, 2023 at 2:17 pmI met Nash at Don Rigo’s restaurant in Anderson Township several years ago and we shared some memories of the past. Used to tease him of robbing the cradle when he would bring his daughter in the restaurant for dinner. He will be sorely missed. May God Bless His Family and he rest in peace.
