I finally got the news in the MSU alumni magazine & cannot believe the sad news. Tony and I were student athletes and in the same major. As everyone has already stated...Tony was a natural leader. He'll be remembered and missed by all of us from MSU.

I consider myself both blessed and honored to have crossed paths with such a wonderful person. His wisdom and charming personality has truly made a difference in my life. And while he is not here in body, his soul will live on forever in the many lives that he has so graciously touched. I will miss him dearly.
