Anthony (Mr. Donuts) and I worked together at BWH for a few years in the Electron Microscopy Laboratory. I always referred to him as my "office husband". Anthony took many beautiful pictures and sent my granddaughter Starr pictures for her birthday and just because. I will miss him very much but I know that he is in good hands.

I remember playing cars and trucks with Anthony when we were little and having fun taking the ferry boat across Lake Champlain. I also have fond memories of a visit here in New Mexico where Anthony took many beautiful pictures. I will miss my dear cousin very much. With deepest sympathy to my Aunt Emma, Marianne, Joey, Henry and family, Love, Louise
