I knew Tony from VIPMOAA. He got us involved in the Relay for Life (both personally for Bob and I, and professionally for the VIPMOAA organization). What a wonderful man, dedicated to helping others to the end!

I am sorry for your loss. I never met Tony, but spoke to him on the phone ba couple of times. He was going to come and sit with my husband who was in Hospice. He sounded like such a caring person.

My wife, Sandra, and I enjoyed many conversations with Tony at the Windward Towers pool over the last few years. Just 12 days ago, we had a long conversation with Tony. He was upbeat as usual despite his health problems. Tony was a bright and accomplished individual who led a most productive life. We will certainly miss him and extend our heartfelt sorrow to his family. Buck Marshall
