Tony ,malinda and family, my heart just feels so sad for all of you. I met your father at your wedding malinda &Tony for the first time. And recently spent time during a cookout. He was the sweetest,kind ,funny guy. I just felt so comfortable talking with him and enjoying the day. Was so looking forward to seeing him again. Spending time with a life long friend's and Tony's dad was such a pleasure. Thank you Mr. Santel for serving the country. Your service to our country is well respected by many. God speed Mr. Santel. You will now be with your beloved wife and family whom you miss so much. May gods arms wrap around you and guide you through this journey. God bless you all and one day wishing you all that the fond memories of your dad make your heart smile. Tony and malinda I know he meant the world to you. You two did so much for him. Every week visiting,helping with household chores and cooking for him. I know he appreciated that. He mentioned it to me in conversation. He loved his family that's for sure. The respect,help,and admiration you Tony and malinda gave him made him proud and of course as parents get older it is tough for them to accept help but he loved the company. Like I said to him enjoy it. It's what kids do for there parents because they love you. Just wish I could have seen him again as planned. I do know he will be with his beloved and that is the best gift I think he could ever ask for. Missed her dearly. May you now rest in peace Mr.Santel. was a pleasure knowing you. ?
