In 2014 he completed the IronMan Triathlon in Western Maryland. He enjoyed crabbing, fishing and tinkering around fixing anything. He loved football, baseball, playing horseshoes, and restoring cars. He loved looking at the stars as an amateur stargazer and bird watching, he also built seaworthy boats. He had a heart the size of Texas and he loved helping people, always putting others ahead of himself. When his children were younger, he coached many of their teams. He had the best laugh and it filled the room. Tony loved life and lived it to the fullest with his heart and his appetite, especially hot foods.
