In this time of Covid-19 and other matters, I found out my big brother had passed. At first I shed a tear, then smiled when I remembered our first time meeting in Newburyport. I didn’t want no stinkin’ big brother but the I began to look forward to your visits. You took me camping & fishing, took me and my brother Scotty, blasting. So much fun. I still remember the very first tent I ever had, given to me by you. As the years passed, we kinda lost touch and then I ran into you in Revere. It was nice to reconnect and meet Dawn (RIP) and learn things about darts I never knew. You were always the teacher, I the student. I will miss you Tony, there’s not to many mentors like you left in the world. I was blessed to have known you. Love, your “little brother” Mark.
