Tony was a very nice kind man and a good neighbor to all. He was a fixture on Newcomb Road for so many years and he will be missed. Always will remember him, his wife, Susan and their beloved dogs especially Gizmo who at the time all of the young kids in the neighborhood loved. Rest in peace - Jones Family
