Toni Hartzong

And our relationship was tight enough that she wasn't spun out about the terrible events, the terrible way her life started.

But Tony seemed to have found, with Bob, a path to her own happy family.

Her cousin, Mel Sorkowitz, admired Bob's ambition.

Bob impressed me as being a very hardworking guy.

Another cousin, Deb Shep, liked Bob's calm personality.

Bob and Tony eventually settled in Jupiter, Florida, where they did everything together.

They were strict vegetarians and wrote a tofu cookbook.

It was a lot of fun.

It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun.

They also were both artistic.

This was a drawing I did of Tony's eye, and this was her drawing.

We kind of merged these things together.

They used their artistic talents to start a company building stone waterfalls for homes and businesses.

And they became dedicated parents to two sons, Jake and Eli.

I think she was my best friend.

She'd help me out in whatever troubles I have.

I loved my mom.

My parents loved each other.

Through 27 years of a generally happy marriage, Bob and Tony did have some rocky periods.

Were there ever any times where you or Tony were unfaithful to your marriage?
