Contributions in memory of Tony can be made to Friends of the Stokes Shelter, 1111 Dodgetown Road, Walnut Cove, NC 27052, supporting his love for animals.
Tony was my cousin and friend. We both loved spooky movies and animals. Have great memories of our family in West Virginia! I will miss our texts on facebook and messages. Will always be in my heart.
