  • I am so sorry to hear the news of Tony's passing and I hold close the memories I have of him and his loving family from many years ago. The time he started APB Machinery and serenading visitors to the booth at tool trade shows with his guitar and fine voice. RIP Tony, my life has been enriched by knowing and working with you and God bless to the Breman family - Posted by: Nick Longhurst () on: Mar 30, 2014

  • Leila & Family So sorry to hear of the passing of Tony. I watched the memorial on Facebook. Although it has been some years since I saw Tony, as stated many times, Tony was a very giving person. He was a wonderful friend to me. From what I can see your boys will carry on his tradition. Kit & Bobbie Riley - Posted by: Kit & Bobbie Riley (friend) on: Mar 08, 2014

  • Where do we start! From the time Leila and Tony visited us in Sacramento on their honeymoon, to a multitude of Thanksgiving and Christmases spent together. Tony was always there with a smile on his face, and oh, those great sandwiches handmade and brought to the hotel the day after Thanksgiving. Cruising the Delta, with Tony marching up and down the Delta with a long pole in hand, silhouetted by a beautiful Sunset. The memories are too many to list but they are in our hearts and we shall never forget. He made us laugh and cry, guitar in hand and a song in his voice. The light is a little dimmer today as we mourn the loss of a wonderful and loving friend. Our blessings to Leila, Rob, Andy and all of his family and friends. Love and hugs, Vilma and Warren 1 From the time Leila and Tony visited us in Sacramento on their honeymoon, a multitude of Thanksgiving and Christmases spent together.

  • Dear Leila and family. We send our condolences and our heartfelt sympathy. I remember Tony's artistic side by virtue of the collage he made of the whole family which your Mom proudly had in her apartment. I will also fondly remember his smile and genuine interest in others and his bear hugs. I will miss him. Our hope is that you have many good memories to cherish and to carry you through these difficult times. Take care. Much love, Janice and David - Posted by: Janice Attree-Smith (Relative) on: Feb 22, 2014
