In the game of life, Tony is anything but a blind squirrel. No luck involved in his life game. He earned all he has accomplished through honor, integrity, fairness, sacrifice, hard work, and loyalty, with the loving support of Cynthia and his family. “He truly cares about the children of Utah and their welfare. Anything Tony commits to, you get 100% Tony.” Employees of Tony Divino Toyota “Tony is a self-made dealer, 35 years plus.” “Tony has been the Toyota President’s Award Winner many times; he has a hands-on dealer approach and an open door policy.” “Tony shares the dealership success with trips to Europe, Jazz tickets and more.” “Tony’s success as a dealer is reflected in the long term tenure of many employees of 20, 30 and 40-plus years.” “It’s not unusual to see Tony engaging with customers on a daily basis. We are proud to say we work at Tony Divino Toyota.” “Our dealership credo is ‘Do the right thing the minute you know it’s the right thing.’ Treat customers as if they were your mother.” From Family and Friends “Tony has been married to his life partner and soul mate, Cynthia, for 47 years.” “They have raised three incredible daughters and have three sons-in-law and six grandchildren.” “Cynthia and Tony worked through the good times and the tough times to where they are today.” “Tony’s dedication and love for Cynthia are endless. One recent example: he stayed home with Cynthia while she was immobile for three months after her ankle surgery.” “Tony is a true family man first. He would do anything for his family. Cynthia knew Tony was an honorable man the first time they met.” “He teaches the family values of love, fairness, hard work, honor in work and good stewardship in life.” “Tony is a very ‘humble’ man.” Tony is devoted and loyal to friends, some he has had for more than 60 years. He makes friends for life; he has been friends with President Miller since they were three years old. Tony was instrumental in forming the South High Alumni Association and Salt Lake Community College Scholarships Program to benefit South High Alumni’s relatives, and he serves on its Board. He is taking care of his high school buddies 50 years later. As you can see, there’s a common theme: Twenty years, 30 years, 40, 50 and 60+ years. Now, it does not infer that Tony is old (sorry, my friend), but it validates his high level of commitment to any aspect of his life. Tony is indeed a “life” Hall of Famer. Cynthia says there are some four-letter words in the Divino family that are not spoken. One of those words is F. I. S. H. Everyone knows Tony’s passion for fishing. Hell, he would fish in a bathtub if it was stocked with fish! Tony and I have had many great fishing adventures over the years. Alaska, Maui, Cabo, Costa Rica, Flaming Gorge and more. A lifetime of memories. Tony is very competitive, especially when it comes to catching fish. Not very often, you might get lucky and catch a fish bigger than Tony’s when here it comes: “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.” We all have heard that more than we would like! In the game of life, Tony is anything but a blind squirrel. No luck involved in his life game. He earned all he has accomplished through honor, integrity, fairness, sacrifice, hard work, and loyalty, with the loving support of Cynthia and his family. I am honored to introduce my great friend and a 2022 New Car Dealers of Utah Hall of Fame Inductee, Tony Divino. 3 7
