It's with heavy hearts that we learned of Tony's passing recently in March. Tony was THE GUY to talk to about buying a bus and was always who I sent people to when looking for buses or parts.
.
.
He was a huge part of the Skoolie community and was known for helping people who broke down or needed parts while at @skooliepalooza
.
.
We had the honor of Tony leading a seminar at @thebusfair on "Finding and Buying the Right Bus" which was actually my first time meeting him in person.
.
.
Tony had just sold AAA Bus and was beginning his retirement with his wife, Zenaida, before he passed suddenly from a heart attack.
.
.
None of us really know when our time will come. Let this be a gentle reminder to live fully, and to pour love into each day while we have it.
This isn’t just an event, it’s a whole viiibe. 🪇

There’s just something about being in a room full of curious, like-minded humans… ideas flyin', notes scribblin', lightbulb moments going off left and right. 💡✨
Our seminars aren’t just about sitting and listening, they’re about connecting, learning, laughing, and walking away inspired (and maybe with a few new friends, too).
If you’ve ever left a talk feeling totally fired up… you know the vibe! 🔥
