I still think about Tony-D just about everyday. Amazing how one man influenced so many with his work ethic, toughness, charm, and "can-do" attitude. Tony was the beacon many of us young sailors needed back in the day. Fair Winds and Following Seas my NJ brother.

Just had the fondest memories of Tony in Coronado and Imperial Beach. He introduced me to my husband and we all had such great times. Drove from Coronado to Pensacola to visit with him. This is sad news.

After I married we lived right across the street from each other and when my youngest brother Billy would come to visit Lakehurst he and Tony would hang out. My oldest son had his mom Helen for a teacher at...
