Brother Tony was very active with our Partnership in Education and became known as “The Pie Guy” for always contributing all of the pies for our families.  A dependable Brother, Tony could always be counted on to help, or simply be present and support, at the degrees.  

Family and work made it necessary for him to move and travel often over the last many years, but Bro. Tony kept in touch and always let us know what he was up to.  The Brothers and Ladies of S. W. Hackett Lodge #574 extend heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of our worthy Brother.
