Losing Tony leaves a massive hole in my heart. I was blessed to be his pastor for seven years. Not the first or the last, but someone blessed by being able to serve with him at the Coeur d’Alene church. We prayed together, studied scripture together, disagreed together, fished together and told tall tales about it. Like so many others, we had quality time on the boat together. Tony blessed my life with his passion for Christ, his joy, and his generosity. Our time here together ended too soon, but I fully expect to be standing in heaven and hear someone holler, “Hey preacher!” and Tony and I will get to settle all those debates we never found the answers to. Tony, you will be missed.
