He is well remembered. Gone to a better place. He wouldn´t like what he sees now.

we lost a very committed person he left a lot of good behind

This is the last email I received from Tony on July 7th. No words could have ever held more true, for loving Tony did shape who I have become and I am so much better for having known him. He was the man I looked up to and the man that all will be measured by. Although we weren't related by blood, our bond was special & unique and he was and forever will be my "heart" father. He was loved deeply &...

I worked with Tony when he established TAP at MassHousing and got to know his strength of commitment, passion and character. We had many discussions about "Life" and while we sometimes looked at events from different perspectives, I admired him greatly. My condolences to his family

My thoughts and prayers are with Tony's family. He was truly special and a friend of the forgotton and rejected. I am proud to have known Tony and call him my friend.

Some people lead by the mere mantle of authority. Some lead by the force of their arguments. Better by their example. Tony led by the latter two. I was always glad to follow his lead. He will be much missed as the conscience of the Smedley Butler Brigade. Tony Flaherty-Presente-RIP, Brother, RIP-Al Johnson-VFP

Tony was a ferociously good man, deeply committed to an honest look at himself and the world around him and unafraid to speak out. He was devoted to securing expect and justice for people no one else cared about and was the most compassionate man I have known. The world is certainly better for his efforts. I will miss getting copies of his letters to the Globe.
