Preceded in death by son Greg Balboa and mom Celia C. Balboa

He worked as a painter the bigger part of his life.  His mentor, Lupe Mendez taught him many tricks of the trade.  Alan Eller helped him learn his carpenter skills.  As time passed, he was employed by Texas Tech and South Plains College.  One of his closest friends always made the remark that Tony's brushes jumped at his command.

He loved heading out to Ruidoso for camping and hiking.  His biggest passions were cooking out and making his EXTREMELY hot chile`!!!   Hanging out with his friends, catching up and reminiscing always put a smile on his face. 

The biggest joy of his life was his most precious son, Greg.  He adored being a dad...making memories and having fun with him.

His memory will always have a special place in our hearts...missed beyond measure.
