Please remove the comment by Caroline. Anthony French (Tony) was a very good friend of mine and even though this may seem silly, when I read this article and think about Tony then look at the comments I prefer not to see that the only comment is whatever she is trying to say. It looks like it's some kind of advertisement. It somehow cheapens the memory... I don't know, I just miss him and I don't like her comment being here. Please remove it. God bless Tony. SDMF.
Respectfully,
Chris Polasky
