Tony, I only knew you a few short years while we lived together in the home you bought for us in Ahwatukee. I didnt get to enjoy your youth but you can learn alot about the greatest of a man by how he leaves this earth. You showed me the compassion of a man that cared more for his wife and family than himself. I will miss your humor and kindness and how you tried to keep the peace. Missin you. Denice Oddo wife of son Scott.

On behalf of the Castelhano's Tony will be missed. He was my Commander in the Az Air National Guard and my boss in the Real Estate busines as well as a friend. My mother and brother had their license with him as well. My folks were both friends with Tony and they have preceded him to be with the Lord. God bless his lovely wife and and family.

On behalf of your fellow QB's we wish you well on your Flight West Tony. May you have smooth air warm-soft tailwinds, and a bright star to steer by. ...till we meet again!

Tony was such an enthusiastic "Goodfellow" at monthly QB meetings. I was always grateful for his friendship, particularly as a candidate in 1990. He was a great aviator with very poignant stories relating his aviation episodes. I'll never forget his recollections of having to dive the KC-97 to maintain sufficient airspeed to refuel early jets. You're headed due West.
