He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Henry and Marie Holzer and Herman and Bessie Allen.
Tony was AVP network administration at Listerhill Credit Union and loved his job and his Listerhill family.
Music and acting were two of his greatest pleasures. Tony loved his church and served as music director for many years, accepting no salary because he enjoyed music and singing so much. He served on the administrative board and in many different capacities within the church. He was also involved in local theater presentations and was one of the original members of Segue. Tony loved to be in front of a crowd and make people laugh. Give him an audience, and he would perform.
We know Tony is now sitting at the feet of Jesus and celebrating the Heavenly reunion with those loved ones that have gone before him, including his Aunt Gail whom he loved so dearly. We will miss him, but we have the confident assurance that we will see him again some day.
