Dear Cathy,
Elaine and I are so sorry to learn of Tony's passing -- we have been in Florida and upset we cannot be with you in person.
Tony was such a help to the Opera and our time there together was better for his humor, his manner, and his great interest. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
Sincerely,
Elaine and Bud D'Avella

I served with Tony on the New Jersey State Opera Board. A lovely man. Warm, funny, sharing, loyal and firm in his determination to do the right thing both in the Opera and at UMDNJ which was going through so many issues. He will be remembered with great warmth.
