My condolences to all of Tony´s family and friends at this time. I worked for Tony at The French Cafe for 4 years in the early 80´s. He was always gregarious, kind and funny - one of the best bosses I ever had! He will be missed.

Wonderful memories and spending a lot of money having a lot of drinks. Tony would always greet you with a smile and a hug. No matter how late it was even after hours he would accommodate us. Sometimes we would close the bar and drink and share company with our friends till 4-5 o´clock in the morning . Nothing can compare to the French café experience, and I have traveled the world and no restaurant or owner hold a candle to Tony and the French café. Dr. Shane & Kathy Raikar

That winter evening as a thick but soft and slow snow fell, Tony let me play over and over from The Nutcracker the song A Pas De Deux. The...
