my sincere sympathy to family and friends, always enjoyed seeing Tony around. I will miss his face

My grandfather Tony had a huge heart and always willing to give a helping hand, and a hug. This is something I saw at a very young age as he cared for his Father, my great grandpa Westimayers. He carried this onto his children and it was evident by how they gave so much to him, and continue to care for my grandmother. I want to say thank you for everything my Mother, Aunts and their Spouses/Significant others, and Uncles gave to my Grandpa Tony so we could love him for the 97 yrs. of his life. Love Always, Ann (Westfall) Hansen. Proud to be Tony's oldest Granddaughter.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
