Loved him like my brother. I will miss him . Rest in peace my friend.

Tony Engel was my friend and for a while my pseudo father in law. He was a great man with a beautiful heart. He loved the Lord Jesus so much and also loved to serve him. Tony has a “cheerful givers” heart, a thought it his duty before God to be a helper in this life. He only knew one way to love, and it was all the way. He was tough, smart and a very hard worker. He was a source of support and strength for so many. I love him, respect him and miss his laugh and smile. I am sure that he is in our Lord’s embrace this very moment praying for all of us and the country that he loves so much. Goodbye sir.
