!The world has lost one of it's finest human beings.Tony was a special person to many people whose lives he touched.Intelligence,kindness, tolerance,wit,humor,and understanding were not strangers to his hearth.Hence the success he had in bringing out the greatest potential in each of his teachers for he had a love of people, and understood their strengths, and weaknesses.Our lives indeed have been diminished by the loss of Tony.Wanda Rapp
