Very sorry to hear. My mom's best friend for over 60 years was Mary Pierzchala, Tony's aunt who worked at Herps. I can remember going to his fathers house on Gunnison. My parents gave Mary an old oak book case that the glass was missing on one side and Tony helped us carry it in. My thoughts go out to a very nice family.
