Tony taught me to slow down, not be so serious and how to have fun.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
I’ll miss him and remember him always.
Tony I miss your smiling face and fun banter at work and the walks we took out to the gate to go hunt for four leaf clovers. My thoughts and prayers are with your wife, family and friends.
I will miss Tony!! I got to work close with him over the last couple of years. We had some great times. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends.
I will miss seeing Tony at work and remembering how he was always engaged in helping others. His love of life and friends was an inspiration to all of us. He will be missed at the Boeing company.
I enjoyed working with Tony for several years. He always had a light-hearted manner about work and keeping things from becoming too serious.
Tony always a help and always an answer to a question on an NCR and with a smile. A good man.
I will always remember and miss Tony. He was a good friend over the years. When I would see him I would always say “Hey handsome” and he would reply with “Hey girlie, whats up”. He taught me so much and encouraged me always. I am happy he and Laurie finally married. He had loved her for such a long time. I miss my friend and teacher.
“My Dear Brother Tony is departed of breath. I hope for my family and his friends that their hearts will heal and the good memories of Tony will remain fluid within them.
I cry when I ache, I laugh when I remember, I even get angry at this seeming unfairness aspect of life. But above all of this, I accept my loss and chose to remain in joy in having known my Brother’s love & spirit. I will miss him calling me “Baby Brother.”
I love you Tony.”
Dear sweet “Macdoodle” as I would call you. You will always be close to my heart and often thought of. You and Lori have been apart of the Puetz Family for a long time as far back as the kids can remember. I would like to thank you for all the great memories. By the way I’m still looking for a four leaf clover! My love always, T-bone Teda, Tony, Tabi, and Tyson Puetz
We’re going to miss you, Tony. We recognized your absence in our last team meeting, we realized you’d enjoy the irony of missing it because your dead. I’ve still got the four leaf clover you gave me, I’ll keep it safe.
I’ll never forget Tony showing me the “Monkeys telling the penguin and ice cream joke.” Funniest thing I’d ever seen. We are all a little better for having known and worked with Tony.
Tony was a good friend for a long time. I am going to miss his laugh a lot
My dear friend,
We were just kids when we met in ’78. I’m sad because I’m selfish. I’m thankful for the honor of calling you my friend. You were the best friend. You kicked my ass when I needed it. You helped me get on with my life when you said you didn’t want to hear anymore about my failed love life. You came to my wedding, though you may not have agreed with it. Tom and I were happy to see you on Oahu and would have liked more time. I appreciate that you spoke sincerely and to the point. I’ll miss your big heart, smile and laughter. I pray for your wife, Lori, your brother, Michael, your Mom, your family and friends that they find peace and happy memories. Love you, my friend.
Tony was a great friend to many. He taught me so much about work and life, I will miss him and will treasure the great memories.
I was devastated to learn that our childhood friend Tony Mc Greevy had passed away! We grew up with him, and his siblings in Silver Spring when dad was stationed at Walter Reid Army Hospital in the late 50’s. We stayed in touch thru the mid 70’s and then lost track when we went to Germany in 74. We often talk about the great times we all had with every member of the Mc Greevy family! Lynn and I were the same age, and I think of all of them with such fondness. My heart aches for Anne, Bob, Lynn, Larry, Victor, and Michael. Would love to reconnect with the family. My phone # is 770-294-0399. My heart is broken for your loss and ours! With love, Yvonne Diaz-Fluhr
