A beautiful light of joy ended with the passing of Dr. Tony. He had healed both the body and the spirit for years. His love for his daughters, his clients and life in general, made all who knew him a better person. I will miss my friend. However, I know he at peace and pain free. My deepest sympathy to his daughters and other family members.

Doc was an amazing person so special . Any one that met him immediately fell in love with him. Always had a hug and a kiss for all. Our hearts are broken. One of my fondest memories was him dancing down the hall at the office when you asked " How are you doing" always said every time " great and danced down the hall. He was truly a character
