Tony was a social butterfly, and was actively involved with the Portuguese Club - Casa do Espirito Santo of Windsor. He was a proud member of Terceira Idade, where he created many lifelong bonds and friendships. Above all, family was Tony’s pride and joy. Nothing made him happier than seeing his family gather for dinner or at family functions. Tony’s eyes would light up at the mention of his grandchildren.
