Lori, thank you so much for the loving comment. Tony tried so hard to get better, but it all became too much. I wish for you to have a happy life as you deserve it. Thank you. Love Diane ??
Dear Daddy, I now know what you meant when you’d say I’d understand eventually. You made a huge impact & I’m talking huge & theres more to come. In fact the Project Homeless Connect is dedicating a room in your name right in the exact spot where you talked to your mom (my Noni) for the past 15 months up until the day you past. This room is going to be for the homeless to come sit & speak with there loved ones. I hope you know you’re not fooling Mom, Noni, Papu, or I, we know you’re still here because this past week out of no where, we have been bursting out laughing. I’ve been dreading this day for years but I can finally say goodbye to you & know that you will be safe. Thanks for the laughter but now it’s time for you to go to heaven & start the life you have always deserved. So goodbye daddy I love you to the moon and back infinity times & yes thoughs are your words. I remember you’d say that & I’d say no, I love you to the moon & back a million billion trillion trillion trillion times & you’d say nope I win. Love your little girly, Justine Dore’ & yes I’m finally changing my name to what you’ve always wanted it to be.
Please know that our prayers and love are sent to Tony’s family at this difficult time. He is at peace and in a better place!
Tony, Susan and Justine have been in my life a long time. Tony was a loving father….adoring Justine from the time she was born. He guided her the best he knew how at times when he was capable. And as a husband, many a time he told me how he adored Susan, his wife. His heart was filled with love. Charismatic is the best word to describe Tony! He was full of hopes, dreams and ideas, never afraid to tackle a new project. Those close to Tony knew how much he loved ELVIS and wanted to impersonate him when he lived in San Francisco in the younger days. And ..no matter what time of day or night… Tony would love to be walking around in a Black suit, white dress shirt, rather than jeans or casual clothes. It made him feel good. He was a 10 when it came to dressing Sharp. It was Tony’s Style whether in San Francisco, Bremerton, in the cadillac or on the streets. Ahhh, the CADILLAC. I think there was a lot of emotional comfort but physical comfort too driving it, because of all the suffering he had with his hip. When he used to sell beds….driving hours to present a sales pitch, only to have a rejection, I would bet he enjoyed the ride! He was a pretty darn good salesman too! Something he has passed along to his daughter! Justine (from a very young age) was always coming up with creative ideas. I remember how he loved to see Justine making things to sell…coming up with ideas on how to make some money. He was so very proud of her. 2 peas in a pod….both gregarious, people persons!! His heart was of ‘gold’ when he would think of the homeless street people. His generous spirit would lead him to giving practically everything away. It was home to him, something that his family understood. Long suffering from illness and hip problems…you would still see him smiling and having empathy for another even when he didn’t feel good. We must remember the person, the heart, not the illness. I will never forget his smile. Now he truly is in Peace, away from the struggles, healed.
As a friend of his mother, I only met Tony a couple of times. But even from those brief exposures, I was impressed with Tony’s caring nature. The world needs more people who care about others like Tony did.
Tony Dore was a Rock Star!!!! This brother has so much Charisma it jumped from his sole. Always looked out for the little guy, and didn’t sweat the small stiff. Tony Dore will be greatly missed around this planet. God Speed Mr. Dore.
Tony is my brother though I’m sad he is gone I take comfort he is no longer suffering and is in gods hands now! He had a great sense of humor and could make you laugh so hard you almost pee’d your pants! Watch over mom she needs it! You are finally at peace Tony!!! You finally have peace!!!
