My deepest sympathies to Tony's family. I worked with Tony from 1973 to 1987 at TRW Cinch. I had the privilage to share many a lunch with Tony at Mr.Dukes Restaurant. Nothing can ever take away the great memories of the guy I called "Mr.Grants and Water", that was his drink back then. He introduced me to George Hart, another "one of a kind" and his nephew, John. He was ALWAYS proud of his son's accomplishments and his wife's Bingo habits. I am sure that with Tony around, the Lord will have all the facilities in Heaven in working order.

God Bless.

My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to all the Verdicos. I met Tony when I first moved to California and George Hart had him arrange for people to help me assemble some furniture in my new apartment. Annette and her family including my sister Peg and her husband Ritch, are in my prayers. He was a wonderful man and I'm sure George was happy to greet him and welcome him into heaven.
