Tony Wins
Just seeing him there looking so dapper and fit hurts! He will always be a winner in our hearts! (If anyone else has posted this, I apologize...I haven't been able to get through the thread for the tears.)
Thank you for posting that video of Tony receiving the 2008 William Buckley Award. Tony was such a great speaker and you can tell everything he says is from the heart. He will sorely be missed.
HI, Luv W - thanks for posting that link to the video of Tony at the MRC awards dinner - in April of this year! How wonderful he looked and what a tremendous speech! How inspirational.
May Tony’s words there and his life inspire many - especially young people who are coming up and considering how to spend their lives - to “man the barricades and say, “Bring it on”!
Perhaps God will take and use the lives of Tony (and the life of Senator Jesse Helms who similarly loved young people, loved liberty, and was a kind and decent man who also fought the good fight).....to inspire thousands, millions perhaps, to re-evaluate their lives and to rededicate themselves to joining the battle for freedom in thie world!
It just ruined my day yesterday when I heard Tony had passed away. He had more class in his little finger than the entire WH press corps.
I just thank God for letting us have Tony for a while, and I know he is with God today.
I pray God will comfort Tony’s family and friends in this time of sorrow.
Rest in peace Tony.
