View all 43 ReflectionsI was a young girl (now 50) but remember Tony well. My dad was with him that night. Deputy ( at that time) Clayton John Jenkins. Tony and his family were the first people we met when we moved to Florida. My dad passed not long ago, and my brother even more recent. I like to think they are together again watching us all. Thank you Tony for your service and you made impressions on people who will never forget you. #heroforever
