I can't say that I knew Tony well, but you couldn't help but like him and always enjoy his company - funny, yes, but also thoughtful, sensitive, kind. We both joined Smith Hanley in the early 90's and he will be missed much by all of us. Tony and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Susan & Nicholas,
While I never met Tony, I have heard nothing but good things about him from people who have known him. I have been praying for him since I heard he was sick, and even though he was not fortunate enough to pull through this sickness, we will continue to include Tony and yourselves in our prayers to help you through this tough time. Above all we are wishing you peace and tranquility. I will be in touch soon.

Tony was more then a co-worker, he was a true friend. I will miss his big smile and his wonderful humor. I am honored to have known such a great friend.
