The sadness at the loss of a really good man is felt by all. Especially his very close family. Good father and soul mate to Shelly. The smile that reached his eyes.. even when they were rolling at the stupid shi* that people do. Always there to assist whenever he was needed. from one end of Medline to the other. I am super glad that he was able to experience life with Shelly. Boy he loved her in every way. He couldn’t sit next to her with out touching her. Planning their lives together. wow. its hard to find a love like that. It was way too short. We feel the loss all over. We are very proud that we had Toaster for the time and the laughter he brought to us in the time we had with him. He touched us all. He is now a Warrior/Angle with our Lord.
Our hearts are filled with his loss and with his family at this time.

Tony was truly a wonderful coworker that I have had to pleasure of knowing for several years here at the Medline Mundelein Campus. He was always helpful, and he had a smiling face. Tony will be missed. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to know and work with Tony. My prayers go out to his family and for Tony as he rises up to heaven.
We are going to miss Tony a great deal. He was one of our favorite customers and always a delight to deal with. He had been coming into our shop for a long time and I got the pleasure of knowing him for the 8 years I worked here. He was such a hard worker, cared about his family and was always so nice to us. This is truly a sad day to hear of this. Our heart goes out to his family and close friends.
