My sympathy to Tony's family. I curled with Tony in Bemidji and know he will be missed. Tony was a man of few words...but good ones when he spoke. He always had a smirk on his face...that Tony grin. He was an excellent curler...and a friend to many at Bemidji Curling. I did not know Tony a long time but I considered him a friend...one that I will always remember.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Tony' passing, he was a childhood friend of mine, and lived two blocks from our family home, may you find peace in knowing he is with our God in heaven. My prayers are with you and your family. RIP Richard

I'm glad I had the privilege of Tony's friendship. I shared many bike rides, beers, and conversations with Tony and am grateful for those memories. Tony was a humble man and a class act. I had a nice visit with Tony just days before he passed. I am grateful for that last visit. He thought the world of his family and I am so very sorry for your loss.

A great man. A great family. He was such a positive influence on so many of us kids growing up.

God bless the Toninato family
