Tony worked in the construction industry for over 10 years with Brad Couch Construction and Riverstone Construction and currently worked as a machinist for Haworth Office Furniture in Holland, MI the past year. Tony was currently earning his college degree in human resources so he could help better the lives of his fellow workers. Just this past Thursday, Tony received 100% on a speech he gave about success – he measured success by pride. Tony was a “fun guy” who never knew a stranger – only friends he hadn’t met yet. He was the eternal optimist and always looked for the best in every situation. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed golfing and skiing. His favorite sports teams were Notre Dame and the Detroit Lions. Tony was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Spring Lake. He will be sorely missed by all of his family and close friends.
