In his emotional tribute on Instagram, Tony expressed his longing for his son, adding that he has “many questions.”

“Don’t worry, boy; you and I will sing together like we talked. I promise. It’s Friday again, and I miss you more than ever. It hurts so much.

“I wonder what you are doing now, who you are with. Did you remember to wish Ma and Pa happy birthday? What do you want to say to me? So many questions… come to me.”
