I started the nickname Candy Man because he started keeping candy in his pockets for me and it grew from there. <BR/><BR/>There was no finer gentlemen in the south than Tony. He was a farmer who shared his wealth of produce with everyone. His wife was a wonderful cook and his youngest daughter is a terrific person cut of the same mold as her father. She was one of my mother's best friends.<BR/><BR/>One of the saddest days of my life was sitting beside his hospital bed the day before he died. The world lost a beautiful person the day he died.SassyAssyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916026186198052226noreply@blogger.com
