Although I had only a brief relationship with Mr. Ferraro - known as 'Tony' to his friends - he truly touched my heart. I knew him to be wise, proud, dignified, and respectful. At the time of our parting, he wrote me one, short, personal note that I will treasure forever. Eternal peace, Mr. Ferraro!
