Tony leaves behind a loving wife, Judy, of 41 years, five children: Tony, Teresa, Tracy, Kim, John, eight grandchildren and many close friends and relatives.

Tony was a resilient, independent and loving man. Tony never met a stranger. He immigrated from Hungary during the 1956 conflict and served as a Red Cross interpreter, speaking five languages as he assisted in refugee placement. He was a proud American and devout Catholic.
