Coach and Mrs Rose, I am so very sorry to hear of the death of Tony. My heart breaks for the both of you. He was a good man. I only wish life didn’t separate people so much. It seems like only yesterday and it was 1972 that I walked into Mrs Rose’s eighth grade classroom and began to know the Rose family for the first time. Whomever coined the phrase time flies sure knew what the hell they were talking about. It’s a damm shame we all can’t just go back every once and awhile and relive some of those precious memories. Coach–I am not sure you know this but here is a true story in regards to Tony. We all remember St. John’s gigantic 18-16 victory over Bellaire on the safety in the final seconds and the Irish football players walking through town back to the school after the game and I am sure you remember St. John’s was leading 16-0 at halftime and Bellaire came back to tie the game in the final couple of minutes but I am sure what you didn’t know was at halftime under the visitors stands I went in to help ice some of the players down Tony gave a passionate speech and was screaming as tears were running down his face “They beat my Dad and by God this one is going to for him. This is for my Dad.” I will never forget that. I am so sorry I can’t be with you all of all times I have an all day meeting on Friday and my little nine year old guy has a basketball game on Saturday. You all will be in my prayers as unfortunately there is nothing but time that will heal the pain I know you all are in. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the precious memories.

Dear Rose Family, My deepest condolences for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Tony from our younger years. I think we all remember that smile, so I love the picture you chose to use. I talked to Tony, at Riesbeck’s, quite a few times. It seemed like all those years just slipped away and we were those young kids, again. But, I hadn’t seen him for awhile and then I heard he was sick. So, when I heard that he had passed, I was deeply saddened. I know that God has taken away his suffering and he is now in Heaven with him. Please know that Tony will always be in so many of his classmates’ memories. Prayers to you, his family, that you may have some peace knowing so many people have such fond memories of Tony. God Bless You.

My deepest sympathies to Susan and the family. I was just talking about Tony Tuesday night with my wife, Gini. We both worked with him years ago at Toys “R” Us where the two of us met, actually and were sharing old stories – I was saddened to hear the news right after our conversation. I remember him always bringing me the best deer jerky and the two of us taking his truck out one evening trying to hear some whistle that it was making. It was such a slow night – I’m pretty sure he just wanted to get out of the store for a while. I’ve missed him since changing jobs and I know he’ll be missed dearly by his family and friends. He really was a stand-up guy – I’m glad I got to know him and work beside him. My prayers go out for the family for comfort.
