So saddened to hear of Tony's passing. Tony and I spent several years together on the Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity board of trustees and became very good friends. His extraordinary commitment, generosity and passion for that work was an inspiration to all of us, and his presidential leadership during the relocation of the fraternity headquarters was critical to the success of the move. He was a giant in the long history of the fraternity and deserves permanent recognition for his many contributions.

Tony was the first Phi Kappa Theta national leader i met. He inspired me to become a leader in our fraternity. He was generous with his time and treasure. His visionary leadership moved the fraternity forward. Few men have given so much to our fraternity. The Brothers of Phi Kappa Theta share in the grief of the passing of our devoted Brother. We send special condolences to our Brother Cameron Smith a good and kind friend and brother to Tony.
