My deepest condolences to the entire Weninger family. I am so sorry for your sudden loss.
My condolences to the Weninger family, I got to know Tony while working for Gary and Helen Rosenau many years ago and then Larry and Mark at the body shop. I will always remember is strong “will”.
Dear Weninger family,
We are so sorry to hear of Tony’s passing.
We both have fond memories of him at Carrington Motor, Inc. He always had a clever whit and was quite “a character”!
Remember the good times.
We wanted to send our condolences to the Weninger family on their loss. We have known Tony’s kids & grandkids to be all hard workers & honest; most likely values they learned at home.
Our Deepest Sympathy,
Steve & Jane Metzger
We were very shocked and saddened to learn of Tony’s sudden passing. We had run into him and had a very pleasant conversation only a few days before. We will always remember him for the many times he kept our farm trucks going and also as just a very good man.
We would like to extend our sympathy to all the family of Tony. He did a number of jobs for us and our family. RIP Tony and blessings to all of the family.
