What else can be said for the most kind, caring, and wholesome spirited person? I will always remember and be thankful for his patience and tolerance for some of my most memorable childhood memories (my very first concert for one, remember Jill?) He truly was a wonderful soul. I am so very sorry for all of you, but know you were his life and all of you made him extremely proud. In deepest sympathy, Cathy

We were shocked and so very sorry to learn of Tony's passing. We had no idea he was ill. His mother, Elizabeth, a lovely lady, was a wonderful friend to our dear late friend, Louise O'Brien, who very much enjoyed and appreciated his visits with her. Perhaps they are all having a wonderful reunion now! Our deepest sympathy.

We're very sorry for your loss. We only met Tony a few times but he was a great guy and an obvious favorite with his grandchildren, given the way they would tumble out of the house whenever he arrived.

He'll be sadly missed.

We knew Tony briiefly in the early '60's. Mac and he were together at the beach with their pal Paul on the day we met, August 21, 1963. We double dated a few times and had many good laughs together. Tony was a great friend and always fun to be around. We'll always remember his face with a great big smile on it. We hope our memories bring you a touch of comfort in these trying times.
