Anthony Joseph Ayers

I met Tony while doing service at Smith Brothers furniture. Back when everything was done by phone. A problem was usually prefaced by greetings to each other and catching up. A lasting friendship was made. I always looked forward to seeing Tony at the annual furniture markets. Visiting in face to face with the person I had got to know through our phone conversations. Tony will missed, he was one of the good guys! Melissa Fey

So sorry to hear about Tony Anthony Ayers. We go in to Ayers furniture alot to buy our furniture . Tony met me at Ayers one day he was telling me about my grandpa being a police officer several years back. Then he asked about my mom . Tony never missed telling me about Ridgeway even told me about the Ridgeway ghost stories. Tony never missed anything he remember it . Our deepest sympathy to you all. I know the rest of the sibling very well went to school with the boys . He will be missed especially his smiling face as you walk in to the store .

I was doing a fundraiser to help an elderly woman who lost her care when the Dodgeville nursing home closed down. She was lying in a most uncomfortable bed at her new location and someone from Barneveld had asked for my help. The first day of the fundraiser I raised $300 then I received a phone call out of the blue from Tony. He told me to stop at the furniture store and he would ensure the elderly woman would be taken care of. The next day I was in the store and I had a stroke and Tony and his store manager helped me and my husband as we waited for an ambulance. He touched my life in a very profound way. I will remember him with fondness in my heart. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Yvonne Hooks (Katie's mum)

One act of kindness can touch a thousand hearts.

Your memories of Tony will always be with you in your hearts and minds.
