Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of the family. Cousin Anthony was one of the "Greats" of his generation, which is why my future husband Frank was instantly drawn to him, when he joined our family. Cousin Anthony was a true,honorable, genuine man, along with his brothers & his cousins, like my Dad, who also shared his name. Growing up, when asked my Father's name, the next question was always "Is he the oil man?" My Father was known as "Cuz" to many, just as Cousin Anthony was known as "Cuz" to us. They were raised together as brothers and shared much more than just their names. They had a bond that was instilled into them from birth & remained until the day my Dad passed away in 1999. Now they are reunited. Although losing these great men has created an enormous void in our family, knowing that they are together in Heaven, is a comfort. And on every warm, sunny day I will smile, knowing that they are back on that golf course together...Tony & Tony, Cuz & Cuz, brothers by choice. Rest in peace Cuz and give my Dad a big hug & kiss for me.
