Tony took me under his wing when I was in high school. I had rededicated my life to Christ and loved music. He gave me a Petra CD and took me to a Christian rock concert. He encouraged me so much. Tony showed me rock n roll can be used as a ministry for Christ. I still play music at church and in rock bands. I am truly blessed that Tony was my friend! God bless you Clara! Until we meet again in glory!!
