He was 51 years old. On October 21, 1957, Tony was born in Savannah, GA and remained a resident of Tybee Island for the last twenty years. Tony held dearest to his heart and had great enthusiasm for his family and friends. He seemed to always know the right things to share with us and how to bring a smile to our faces and joy to our hearts. He enjoyed beach living and was quite the perfectionist in his work as a hanger of wall paper and most recently, interior/exterior painter. He was an avid lover of music, water sports, auto racing, fishing and animals. He is survived by his wife Lee C. Mulherin; mother, Bettye G. (Allen M.) Zaffiro; father, Anthony T.
