I worked on Amtrak with Tony. On the railroad he was known by all affectionaly as "Guido." I rode many an engine with him, and always had a great time when he would stop in New Haven motor storage to sign up and get his engine. Guido was top shelf! May he forever rest in peace and have perpetual green signals!

I am sending prayers to you for comfort
