Tony's spirit, his smile and laughter, his good-natured tricks and gotchas, will live on in the memories of everyone who was lucky enough to know him. Cindy and he perfectly complemented each other's personalities, and as they traveled the world, they demonstrated a true Joie de vivre and love of each other.

We are so very sorry that Tony has left this world, but we hope and pray that he is in a much better place, where his jokes and tricks keep everyone laughing. We greatly admired Tony for his love of family, his love of life and of Cindy, who was the center of that life. Tony was a fine, hardworking, decent man. We are much richer for having know him, and miss him mightily.

Cindy,
We love you so very much and will miss Tony so much, especially his humor. How gracious you both have always been to us by letting us stay in your home and showing us the very best that Charleston has to offer....we loved the boat rides, Taste of Charleston, flea market trips and especially the food places where we laughed and enjoyed. We always loved the shrimp & grits at Fleets Landing! That was our special place each time we visited! Rarely do you meet such special and amazing folks! Know we are here for you if you need anything. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you! Love, Tom & Sue Fletcher
