So very sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. He was a smart, talented, and just a really good guy from a really good family!! I will always remember the many fun times we had growing up together in Clarksville, becoming friends and playing together at a very young age, then car pooling together everyday to Bluestone Sr. High. He excelled at everything he did and in high school was a friend that always challenged me to do my best.
Many Prayers to Tony’s family and know that he is now at peace.
Dear family of Tony Crute,
I did not know Tony until he and my wife Nancy were in the same care facility. We got to know him their then found out he was from the same area of VA that we were. He also worked for the same company I did, AT&T. Even though I did not know him long he always seemed to be a fine gentleman that his family should be proud of.
May God give peace to all that mountain his death.
