So sorry for your loss. I remember all the laughs we had together at Sandoz/Novartis. I learned so much from Tony. My heart aches with sadness for the loss of such a wonderful man. A man who loved the shore, loved his family, and most of all the love of life. He will surely be missed by many.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Anna Rush

I am very sorry to hear about Tony. He and I go back to the 70's when I was still teaching and he was my paper merchant. We fished together, we laughed (a lot) together, we cried in each others soup together, but most of all Tony was there whenever I needed him. Every Christmas was made official when the box of Christmas Star cookies arrived at our home.
I lost a good friend and I believe that the people Tony touched were proud to have called him their friend.
Armenians have a traditional saying at a time like this - May the Lord Illuminate Tony's Sole.

My wife and I met Tony when we opened in 1980. Though the years we shared a lot of laughs, a few tears and watched as our families grew.
Tony, you will be missed by all the people you touched.
We know you are in a better place now,teaching the angels how to fish.

Tony, your 30 years of daily phone calls will be with me the rest of my life. We shared each others joys of children and grandchildren, business ups and downs, though we seldom talked business, your fishing and my golf, your cars and my cars and most of all the laughs we always seemed to have, no matter how bad things seemed at the time.
I will miss you and look forward to seeing you again someday in a better place. I am very sad today but I think of you and a smile comes to my face. Rest in peace my old friend.
