When I last saw Tony at John Wright's retirement party he wasn't the same Tony I enjoyed working with in the Midwest Region. But he still had that same soft gentle manner and sly smile that made you love the guy. And the presence of Nancy and Tony made any occasion extra special. Aggie and I send our deepest sympathy to you Nancy and to your family. Nothing takes the pain out of death but many fond memories of Tony will always remain. With love Lowell and Aggie Gates

Tony was wonderful friend, very kind, gentlemanly, and one of my favor I.S. guys back in the day, at 35 E. Wacker Dr. I remember Friday nights after our bowling leagues were finished and we'd all gather in the bar at Marina City and continue having fun and shenanigans. I Loved those days working for Inspection -- what a blast and what a great group of people. Not the least of which was Tony! He will be missed as he has been (by me) all these years since I left Chicago. One of my favorite evenings was when Larry and I had dinner at Nancy and Tony's house -- it was my first time to have a real Caesar's Salad -- Thanks Nancy. I miss you both and MY heart goes out to you and the family on your loss. My love and prayers to you. Judy Gore
