Being a Martin from Martinville & Tony growing up with my Mom & her sisters the Wilson girls.Tony has always been a part of my family. Looked forward to visiting with him every month when he read the meters. He was always such a nice friendly man & interested in hearing about all the family. We had lots of conversations over the years. He loved his Lord,his family & his fellowman & my life has been blessed by him.

I'm sorry for the great loss to the Dunlaps and extended families. As a friend to Ed over the years, I've been around his father only a few times but long enough to realize he was a rock-solid man you could always depend on, the kind of man that the world can ill afford to lose. Again, my condolences to the family.

So sorry for your loss. I have known Tony for 46 of his 92 years. It was in 1965 when I went to work for AP&L that I became a co-worker and friend. He was a wonderful meter reader and a wonderful man. He will be missed. My thoughts are with all of you at this time.

What a wonderful person Tony was to be around. I'm a former AP&L person but never had the opportunity to work with Tony. However, all the folks used to tell about how efficient and what a hard worker he was. The funniest was to tell how he would read meters and would open the door of his truck and practically leave the truck rolling as he read a meter and be back in the truck and be gone and on his way.
