Tony has left behind a wonderful legacy of service and humility. I admired him greatly as a leader and mentor. Tony was not just the treasurer for many blindness organizations, but he was a unique treasure that helped us all gleam a little brighter. Thank you Tony for sharing your many gifts with us. RIP
