My condolences to Tony's family and love ones. I had the pleasure of coaching with him in Boston, and he quickly became one of my favorites and a good friend!

I remember the fear in the minds of the Bandys High School baseball team when Rock Springs came to play us. Tony was great and all of us are so proud of his career. May God bless all of his family members and friends. Our loss is heaven's gain! George Simmons

Thoughts and prayers go out to his...
