Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I remember him fixing problems with the FEIDs (Flight Equipment Interface Devices) whenever we flight software testers had an issue with our simulation runs. He was extremely smart! He will be missed.

In addition to being a good friend, Tony was a problem solver when it came to the FEIDs and their controllers. Early in the Shuttle program, he spent hours digging through paper printouts. Later, when most of the data was stored online, he spent hours of staring at a computer screen. He and his team were always successful. I will miss him. RIP, my friend.

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. To me he was one of the guys with all the answers. Always willing to help. I feel as though I owe him half my salary for all the help he provided to me. Sorry for your loss, McNasty.

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He was one of those experts who I frequently went to for help (when my shuttle FSW test runs failed) and he was always gracious in giving of his time and sharing of his expertise. I'm one of many who respected and admired him.

Judy, I´m so sorry to hear of Tony´s passing. He was a good man and will be missed by many. He was one of Ray´s favorite fishing buddy. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

I appreciated and respected Tony. I enjoyed working with him when I was in the Onboard Flight Software of the Space Shuttle Project. My prayers are with his family.

The McAllister family's thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. May his memory be a blessing.
