We were saddened to learn of Tony's passing and are sorry that we weren't able to attend his memorial service today. Despite the fact that Tony led a full and rewarding life, we know that his passing leaves a hole in your hearts and we share your grieving. We have very fond memories of our shared experiences as neighbors on Second Avenue and our Mom and Dad valued their long friendship with Tony and Doris. Last night we were together and offered a toast to Tony using a set of glassware that Tony and Doris gave to Ron as a wedding gift in l972. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.
