Another Rose is gone. I hadn’t seen Tony or his brother, Mark, for a number of years. I have been out of town for a long time, so to speak. But I miss them both. Tony and his brother, Mark, were both great guys. They were down to earth, trustworthy, and very solid guys. Back in the day we had some good times.You could always count on them. They will be greatly missed by all who knew them. Wonderful men. I will cherish the memories of them both until the end of days.
To my dearest father, I don't know how I'm gonna live this life without you. I already miss you so much. I can't even handle it. I'm trying to be strong for mom, but I just can't stop looking at all The text messages and pictures you have sent me in the last few weeks. I prayed and asked for you to make it through the holidays and you did and I love you for that. We will reunite again and I can't wait for that day to hear your voice. Say, my little ditty, I love you. And make sure you take care of my wass. Most people won't know what that means.But I do, and you do that's all that matters.I can't stand the fact that I cant wake up and I can't call you. You are my idol , you are my mentor and you mean everything to me. I called you every time something happened to me and you were always there for me no matter what it was. And I love you for that, and I will never forget. You you are my favorite man in my life and I love you for that. Please wait for me. I will see you 1 day again, I promise. Love your little Ditty. Aka your baby. I miss you so much. And it's been only a few days. Don't ever forget how much I love you. It's gonna be hard for me to live with you, not in my life.\nIt's purely middle week.And I'm struggling, but I will be strong for you.I promise and I will take care your old lady.

Knew Tony way back in High School. He was all of what his friends have said. We played a lot of softball back in the day. He was a great guy. Really saddened me when I saw his name on the sign at Leesman funeral home.
Tony and I (next door neighbor) had some great conversations during the summer while our dogs played.He always had great rock music playing. He will be missed by all that knew him. RIP my friend.
Tony and sometimes some other guys would come over to watch the Blues games with my dad Woody Mitchell. During the intermissions we would play hockey on the Sega Genesis and I would always whoop the adults. GOOD TIMES!!!!
