Our sincere condolences to Jane and the Schindler Family. I have fond memories of Tony as we grew up on Meta drive. He enjoyed box games and playing pool in his basement. Wiffle ball in his back yard was also something we all enjoyed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jane and her family.

Jane and family I'm so sad to hear this news. Tony was one of my first childhood friends on 23rd st in ESL. His grandparents Rose and George were so kind to me and I was included in so many adventures with them as a result of my friendship with Tony. I hold him and those memories near and dear. I'll always remember him and those carefree days. Prayers to all of you and peace to you Tony.

My sympathy goes out to the family. I worked with Anthony at Enterprise. When I started Enterprise, we were on the same team. He had directly helped train and guide me during those early years. Yes, discussions about the St. Louis Blues often came up during our conversations. It was a pleasure getting to know and work directly with him.
