I am so very, very sad to hear of Tony's passing and also to hear that he had been so ill and in such pain. I haven't seen him for a few years but knew him for several and loved playing tennis with him. He loved that game and bowling, too. Tony was a truly kind human being and his waters ran deep and true. He so loved his children and I witnessed him perform so many good deeds in the relatively short time that I knew him. God bless you, Tony and your lovely family. I am so happy to know you are pain free and in the arms of God, which is exactly where you belong. The beautiful paths you walked on this earth will not be forgotten. Much love to the Spivey family at this time and always.

As a neighbor on Montclair Street, Catherine and I will miss Tony. I especially enjoyed playing golf with Tony,Murray, Rob and Milton Williams. Tony was by far the best golfer and very patient with us. Our prayers are with his family especially Jason who we knew from his days at the EXXON station. Milton and Catherine Boykin

My prayers and thoughts are with all of Tony's family and friends during this most difficult time. Tony really did have all those wonderful attributes that the other family and friends have talked about; he was warm, funny, loving, and friendly. I had the pleasure of serving on the Steering Committee with him years ago and I was always glad to stand next to him doing service work. I'm so sorry he had a lot of pain and illness to deal with, and I'm glad he's well and pain-free now, though he is sadly missed by many, many people. Peace and love to all.

My heartfelt condolences go out to all the family and friends of Tony. Tony was inspirational to me so many times when life had brought me down. Why just three weeks ago I talked him about a personal problem I was having and he so selflessly offered his very reassuring thoughts. This was the type of man he was.

He showed me the proper path by his examples of living a mannered, kind lifestyle.

I am so deeply touched by Tony's leaving this worldly life. I know that he is in a better place and hope that his friends and family can find some comfort in this.

I am truly a better person because of knowing Tony Spivey.

With sincere gratitude,

I haven't seen Tony in 30 years, but recognized his name immediately. He painted our house in the late 70s ..before he ever married.

What a great guy! He was so nice. I just thank God that we crossed paths.

My best to the family.

It was a joy knowing Tony. We were lucky to be able to learn from his words of wisdom. Without Tony being involved in our lives some years ago, we would not be the people we are today. We are going to miss one of the greatest people we have ever known. May God be with you Tony.LOL
