On this sad anniversary, I choose to remember Tony's joie de vivre which I first encountered at the Colonial Club c. 1961. I only knew France from a 7AM Princeton French class and varied readings from St. Exupery and de Maupassant therein. It was Tony who really introduced me to French culture beginning with his ebullient personalty.

It s with sadness that that I just learned of Tony's passing. I roomed with him in our first year at The
Harvey School in Hawthorne, NY. My best memory of Tony was his sense of humor, his love of the arts, and his desire to become an orchestra conductor. I am most pleased to learn of his many successes after moving on in life. Rest In Peace, Tony.
