Our sympathy extended to your family. Knowing Tony and of course Rita has been a blessing. May God support you in your time of sorrow.
I am very sorry to learn of Tony’s passing. I enjoyed working with Tony during his years as an insurance agent. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Knowing Tony and Rita and the entire Cherek family has been one of the greatest blessing of my life. Tony will be missed.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Hold close to your hearts all of the moments that you shared & all of the joyful times filled with laughter. Our prayers are with you & may the “symphony” of angels greet him.
Prayers for all the family and hope that comfort is found in the loving memories of his life and love for you all.
Kristine, I got your very kind email and just wanted to let you know we felt very blessed to have Tony and Rita as neighbors. They were always kind, cheerful, and helpful. I know life is never quite the same when Mom and Dad are gone, but you’ll find that they live on daily in your hearts and I feel assured they,, with the heavenly angels, are looking down on you with love. Our prayers are for them, you and your family.,
