A gifted leader and a friend to many, Tony worked at Autodesk for over 20 years. His spirit, can-do attitude, ready smile and southern charm endeared Tony to many and inspired those around him to find the best in themselves. Having worked his magic in many areas of the company, he played an integral role in the company's growth and success. A devoted father and husband, and a fiercely loyal friend, Tony will be lovingly remembered for his quick wit, his MacGyver-like ability to handle any situation, his mischievous smile, the twinkle in his bright blue eyes, and the sense of clarity he could provide in challenging times. He had a passion for golf, music, burgers and, above all, spending time with family and friends. A memorial celebration will be held at the Marin Country Club, 500 Country Club Drive, Novato California, at 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 6, 2013.
