Antonio was my best friend, my partner in music several bands, my golf teacher, my Uncle to my kids and travel partner for golf Excursions from the East Coast to the West Coast. I was the first one to find him to ceased when he didn't show up for work and I went to his house. I was so devastated by the event I couldn't even look at his pictures without having major depression. Almost 15 years later now the pictures are back up here. They are just two, but I've got many more rest in peace, my brother.

I received a card from Walsh regarding Tony and was saddened to hear of his passing. Tony and I played golf on the Walsh Jesuit team, and I have so many great memories. He made me laugh more than anyone I've known since. He was a great guy.
