Ironically when I made my first visit in several years to the Brainard Control Tower a few weeks ago, Tony was on duty. As always, it was fun to meet the person with the familiar voice you had heard so many times on the radio.
It was a great pleasure working with Tony. All of us at Premier Flight Center benefited from his expertise as a controller, and especially our student pilots could feel more relaxed with Tony's friendliness and sense of humor. Tony will be greatly missed.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious. I Love you uncle shortie! Janie

I worked with Tony back in the '70's at Bradley Airport. He taught me to be a radar approach controller and I spent 31 years at it. Most of it at Boston Logan He was a wonderful guy and one of the best air traffic controllers that I ever worked with. I'll never forget him.
