At an early age, he attended the William Baer School for the Handicap, and although he was diagnosed with Polio and was bound to a wheelchair, that was not to be his calling for “God Had Other Plans”. Tony attended The Refuge Way of the Cross-Seminary School in Washington DC, where he received his Bachelors of Arts Degree. Throughout the course of his Life’s journeys Tony received numerous awards and honoree acknowledgements. Tony truly loved the Lord and worked tirelessly “Walking”, Yes “Walking” throughout the streets of Baltimore City spreading the gospel of Jesus,” whether you wanted to receive it or not”. It was his life’s journey to Reach, Preach and Save as many souls as he could. Tony was loved and admired by everyone he encountered, young, old and in between. Tony had a calling to the Ministry and was called upon by Affiliate Pastor’s Minister’s and the like to Preach at Churches throughout Maryland, as well as some Southern and Northern States. It would be nothing to hear him say I’m going to So-In-So’s church today to preach. For him it was an absolute honor. Tony had an infectious smile, and always an encouraging word to follow. “But don’t get it twisted” he would tell you about yourself if you weren’t doing right. But it was always done with love and followed up with scripture. Tony loved to sing and you could often hear him singing hymns wherever he was. Tony also recorded the family’s obituaries and was very knowledgeable about his family’s history and would often times engage you in conversation about your loved ones valuable pieces of history that you didn’t know. He could go on and on about the legacy of his family. He often times spoke of his grandmother whom he loved and respected deeply. Tony loved children. He knew them either by name or whomever their “momma or daddy was” as he would say. He loved to talk like Donald Duck to the young children, it always made them laugh. He often spoke about one day acquiring a Church where Young Folks” as he would call them could go to be safe and worship the Lord. He loved talking on the phone and would sometimes talk for hours. In his final weeks Tony ministered to two of his caretakers at Potomac Healthcare and made a lasting impact on their lives through his fellowship with them. Tony had a lifelong relationship with his heavenly father and often spoke about his eagerness to be with the Lord. Tony was truly ready for his journey.
