Tony resided in Aromas, CA for the last 41 years. 
He spent a lifetime career in the Precious Metal industry and owned his own business for almost 25 years. Even up to two weeks before his death Tony spent his days working on his own property or helping neighbors and friends. He never arrived empty handed and was always generous in sharing his lemons and other produce that friends would share with him. He enjoyed living in the country and working on his tractor, and spending time with his kids and grandchildren. Always eager to help and offer advice. There wasn't anything he couldn't fix with duct tape, bailing wire and a wine cork! He could travel anywhere in any direction and not have to pay for food due to all the friends he made along the way. Tony spent much of his time over the years spending time with friends and family in Arroyo Grande as well. A neighbor said it best "Tony never changed, but he changed everyone he met."
