Rest in peace, dear cousin, dear Godfather. Tony was my role model from childhood through to this very day. There was none better than this gentlemen, artist, thinker, mentor, innovator and all around good example of successful living. Thankfully, I had the chance to remind him of that fact and I thanked him for that leadership several times as we crossed paths these past few years of his amazing life. Once he exclaimed to me that he thought he'd really not been "a good Godfather." My answer was the quick reminder of how his life, viewed from my perspective growing up, maturing and growing older had been a welcome guide for me in living a happy and productive life. I love you Tony...one of life's true winners.
