Mr. Compton was my resident in the apartment community that he resides. It was such a blessing to simply "know" Mr. Compton. He has a quiet but strong spirit, and he absolutely adored his children! He was hands down my BEST resident here and he will be surely missed! Chandler and Heather will be in my prayers! And Penny!

What a wonderful dad and Scout leader Tony was. I know that Troop 30 benefited from his help and guidance during the time he worked with the Troop. Ever cheerful, Tony worked hard along side his son and I am sure his daughters in many ways. I know that those he touched will carry his memory and smile in their hearts forever. All our care and love to each family member at this time. Helena, Gerry, Christopher and Ben Schulze

Such a tragic loss. Tony was a great friend and coworker and it's still hard for me to wrap my mind around his passing. I'll miss seeing him every day, our visits over Mexican food and the endless back and forth as we quoted lines from "Smoky and the Bandit." He was quite a character and I'm proud to have been his friend. My deepest sympathy for his family, he loved you all so much.
