With a VERY heavy heart that I update our family, friends, and associates. On June 17th, Tony left for vacation with his beautiful bride (Laura) of 23 years and his baby girl (Gabby) for Europe to visit their son in Germany and a 10-day adventure. During the flight, Tony had a massive heart attack and passed away at a German hospital. This happened only 6 weeks after being hit head-on while coming home from a visit with his grandchildren. We aren't sure if his heart attack was a direct cause of the accident, but we are doing everything we can to find out. BUT with that said Tony's family needs our help.
Whether you called him Anthony, Anton, Tony, T, Coach, Dad, or Babe, you all got that same smile that we ALL came to know and love. Some of us he taught in Sunday school, some on the baseball field and some in the workplace, but no matter where it was, he always had of teaching us some valuable lesson. One lesson we all can learn from his death is to make sure you have enough life insurance, Tony did not, and now his family is struggling to cover costs.
His passing in another country has put a huge expense in getting him home and covering the unexpected medical expenses. These costs exceed $35,000, and that is without funeral expenses. Laura only has a portion of it in their emergency fund. Losing a loved one is hard enough to get through, but adding the loss of his income to the family and these expenses it's all very overwhelming, BUT by coming together we can help. We can pour out the love that Tony showed to others to his family.
Please consider helping the De Arcos family.
