Sorry this is a very late note. I just learned of Pastor Tony's passing. As I do offer my condolences to the family who lost a loving Father, husband, Grandfather, ect. I am not especially sad because I have no doubt he is celebrating with Jesus personally now. I just wanted to say a special thank you for all the work he and the family did at TCS. I was only there for my middle school years, but what an amazing impact that place and people had on my life. Especially spiritually, and I feel like my love for the Lord was not only started there, but deeply embedded. Thank you so much to Pastor Tony for the wonderful legacy you were able to leave behind. -Heather (Wolfe) Parisoe

Precious Lynn, Philip, Andrew and Christina we send our love to you. Pastor Tony was the man the LORD used to bring us to salvation. He was the man that prayed me through the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and taught us steadfastness in Christ. We had many a Bible study fellowship at our home which created wonderful memories. A man of GOD who touched all the lives that crossed his path. We love you, and pray the Prince of Peace will be with you all in a very special way.

No matter who embodies the white steeple church over looking Lake Idamere it will always be Gods gift of Pastor Tony's vision for Tavares. It is a testament to his service every time I drive by and remember the promise of that vision long time ago.

Pastor Tony had a tremendous influence on my wife's Christian walk which then helped to shape mine. He is a wonderful representation of Jesus in the flesh. It was also very nice to see a reunion of sorts of Tavares Assembly of God, like Tony had one more meeting for the church to worship together.

Even with his great scholarship, he ministered to the simple and intelligent alike. He was humble and sought to seek to serve and enable others to have a better life. His legacy with his wife Lynn will forever have accolades in the halls of the GREAT KINGDOM! We will miss the likes of such a man on this earth until the GREAT RESURRECTION DAY!

Dear Lynn, Phil, Andrew, Christina and Children,

I just cannot believe I am writing a condolence for Tony. We just saw him in December at Aunt Joyce's funeral and a few months prior to that at your home in Tavares. It will not be the same without him. Dad will be having a mass for the repose of Tony's soul.
