Tony Mayhem was a very good man, he was with me through a very important time in my life and although so very far apart, I have always counted him as a very dear friend. I am saddened by his departure and filled with regret that I did not make more of an effort to stay in touch but his memory will live with me forever. God bless his soul and may he rest in peace.

Tony, thank you for the late-night talks, the cheers, and being such a dear friend to animals. It is rare that someone brings so many people close together, but you did that in your life. You made people feel important, and you did it in style. The world is less bright without you.

Tony, we did not meet in person in this life, but I look forward to meeting you in the next one. I'll miss our friendship here, and I hope you know how great a void your departure left in so many lives. Rest in peace, friend.

The old toad will not be the same without walking in and seeing his smiling face, saying, "Hey Lindz! Put your ID away, I know your old enough to be here!" Followed by a hug and high five. We shared some awesome stories, about life, yoga and meditation, and shared stories about the little people in our lives who make us so happy, for him, his granddaughter Gianna, and for me my niece and nephew. I will miss him so so muchThey say the good die young, but the great last forever. You're memory will last forever Tony.

We are fairly new members of GROS (Orchid Society) so we did not know Tony well, but we were very sad and shocked to hear of his passing. Our deepest condolences.

I am lucky to have had the pleasure to work with Tony @ RIT and to have had his friendship. Miniature Golf, Champagne picnics, long discussions about photography, design and constant reminders from him that he was the same age as my wife. I will always have some great memories. I'll miss you my friend.
