Not sure what to say?

His memory remains vivid for all who had the good fortune of knowing him in any capacity. I am sure he lives on in so many ways for his beloved wife and daughters.

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. Condolences to Dorothy and Family. A great Scholar, Gentleman and Renaissance Man. Also a fellow New Hampshire native. Enjoyed many conversations and Craft beers over the years at The Faculty Club.
