I knew Tony from when worked together at Sandy Springs , SC ( Anderson -US2)
Tony was a valuable part of my team at US 2 as the Engineering Manager for Service Z .
He went on to become a leading expert in rubber mixing .
He was a great friend . We traveled to France many times on business related to our work.
He was fun to be around . Our French counterparts loved and respected him.
As did those in the US.
Boy did he love good food especially French dishes.
Goodbye my dear friend until we meet again .
Thoughts and prayers for the family.
My condolences to the Grady family, Jeannie and Patricia.
I am so saddened by Tony’s passing – some of my best childhood memories remain with the Grady’s, cooking stew, Thanksgiving in Mauldin, weekends at Castillo Contento fishing catfish, having seconds of German Chocolate Cake… We even have our names at the lake house….
Goodbye Tony, I’m sure you’ve having a drink with Mom & Dad.
You are missed, I still hear your communicative laugh even though it’s been so many years…
Love
