I think of Tony routinely. He was a great friend with a great laugh. We shared many fun times at the Prep. His passing at such a young age also reminds me of my priorities. In many ways Tony is still with us.
My best to the family,
Mark Turner, SJP ‘81

Tony was a great guy. I am shocked to pick up the Prep news and read this. Smart, talented, and always a Hawk, Though I've not seen you in many years, my memory of you will be for forever!

I am deeply sorry to hear of Tony's passing. We sat next to each other for four years of law school and shared many cocktails after class. What a fun loving great guy. I am truly saddened by his passing.

What a great guy. Tony used to be with our crowd at Fr. Ike's down the street from his house. Genuine, funny and smart is how I remember him. Though we hadn't seen each other in years I thought of him often as he was such a big part of our circle of friends.
My condolences to his wife and family.

Tony was a best friend at The Prep. Smart, funny, talented, and someone who could get along with anyone. He loved, and had a hearty laugh, at a good or bad joke, even if it was on him. I have warm, treasured memories of my time with him in class, eating lunch, on a run, at his house on Pechin and Shurs, at the shore, and watching the Eagles loss to the Raiders in the Superbowl in '80. Great guy. Will be missed. My sincere sympathy to his family and loved ones.
