If he was so bad why didn't his wife divorce him? Why was she still living with him? Why was he even allowed to be near her?

You make think that he was far from being a good person but what category do you think that your family falls in?

The man has passed away for heaven's sake. Do you think his children enjoy reading negative comments about their Dad regardless of what problems he may have had.

Many times, He has helped out, and would never take a dime.I know Tony had some problems (which he was working on),BUT don't we all have things in our very on life we wish we could change? The fact still remain the man was MURDERED. Give it time for the truth to come out,you all will see. Thank You

I have known Tony for many years. he was a good person. the truth is his sister in law is to blame for all of this had she left him along this would not have happened

I think that there should be charges for this shooting and the guy who did it should have to sit in prison for the rest of his life and think about what he did.

i have known tony for around 15 years..the problems he had where more than a little problem..when we are gifted with life we should cherish every day.. but when u treat people they way he did he didnt cherish anything but tony .. i dont wish he was dead but i also wish he didnt do they things he done to other people that loved him.. oh well... I hate to sound negitive and i hope this is posted because the truth needs to be heard .. he was far from being a good person....

Why has the shooters name not been released? And why have no charges been filed?
