Tony also leaves behind his dear sisters Mary Tailby and Anne Szutiak, and brothers Ben and Leonard Horvat. His loyal companion, Misty, was always by his side. Tony was truly exceptional, radiating kindness and capturing the affection of all who crossed his path. His compassionate and wise words guided others in their own journeys. Though he would allow us to stumble, he would always extend a helping hand to lift us up and set us back on our feet.
