Condolence: Before the age of 6, I was very shy around Anthony. While he could have teased me for this (him being an older cousin and I being the baby), he never did. In fact, it was the opposite. He worked really hard to win my affection and one year when he was visiting California he bought me a Snoopy doll. I came to recognize the gentle heart that Anthony had. As an adult I appreciated Anthony's great sense of humor and always enjoyed his wit. When I was diagnosed with cancer four years ago, he was so encouraging and I was very grateful for his advice and candor to help get me through. We will miss your caring nature, Anthony!

Condolence: O Captain! My Captain! The journey has reached its end.
Your kindness, your laughter and compassion will be sorely missed my friend.
You supported me and we lifted each other at a time when we needed it most.
Adventures were shared in the City we loved with you as our gracious host.
You touched our lives with your gentle ways always thoughtful with planning precise.
To truly listen and hear was a gift you possessed and was followed with solid advice.
So many good memories have warmed my soul and keep your spirit alive.
The smiles, laughter and adventures we shared have dried these tears that I cried.
O Captain! My Captain! The journey we shared has not really reached its end.
May you rest with the angels till we meet again… Forever you will be my Friend.

He was such an easy-going guy and never had a bad word to say about anyone. His spontaneous sense of humor was always received with warmth and laughter. We will all miss him very much. Be at peace Tony and know that you hold a special place in many of our hearts. Sunshine

Condolence: Tony was one of good guys. Always giving of his time and friendship.
A fellow scifi geek, I will
Always remember him coming to the 50th anniversary Star Trek celebration where I was working, and getting me cool swag and food while I was not able to leave my tables.
I will always remember his sense of humor and always finding and bringing the fun to whatever outing or event he was at. From playing Santa, to singing Karaoke, Tony was always great company.
Mostly I will remember and miss our long phone conversations late into the night when either one of is needed to talk about everything and nothing at all.
Reat in Peace my friend.
