Tony had numerous friends, we apologize if we missed anyone.

Tony (Uncle Tone) went to school and graduated from St. Labre School. He was an expert horseman and trained horses for a living. He taught his nieces and nephews to ride. He enjoyed horseracing. He spent many years firefighting for the Northern Cheyenne Forestry. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, camping and spending time with family and friends. His children were always in his heart and prayers.Some of the many memorable moments remembered he participated in the Columbia Space Shuttle Recovery. One year, he was the first to count coup at the Cheyenne-Sioux Little Big Horn Reenactment. He chased and caught wild horses with his father during the summers. When it came to horses and racing Tony had the need for speed. Tony was always ready with a helping hand. He was always a friend. Tony, my son, my brother, my father, my grandfather, our hearts cry for you. We are not ready to walk this world without you. Your example, and love remains with us, always. Our prayers and love go with you, always.
