I only met Tony Giger one time a few years ago but he inspired me. He made such a good impression on me I wanted to get to know him better but unfortuniately never found the time to go back to Dallas.

JIM AND DENA BRYANT, AUGUST 30, 2009 Barbara and family: I know the loss you are feeling in the death of Tony. Who would have thought we would both lose our husbands with cancer so quickly. You are in my prayers ARLETA M. HOWARD, AUGUST 30, 2009 Barbara, Terry and Teena: I am very saddened to hear of your loss. Tony was a good friend although I hadn't seen him in the last few years. I will always cherish our time together in that cold city of Milwaukee. If it wasn't for Tony's "green death chili/stew", we might not have made it. This was quite a shock to me as I did not even know he was ill. He was awfully young to go, but I'm sure God has his plans ready for him. My love and prayers are with you and the family. JUDY A.
