I'm so sorry to learn of Tony's untimely passing. He was a wonderful human being: compassionate, smart, and fun. My sympathy to his family and friends about his loss.

Anthony Pucek was my long time mental heath care practitioner, and was the best. I saw several others, but he was the one I enjoyed seeing. He didn't ask me the same stock questions over and over, instead we would talk about things we both liked: off-roading, LED lighting, movies, etc. I'll never find another NP like Anthony. I'm imagining him riding off into the sunset in his FJ Cruiser and flipping on the light bars.

Tony was a wonderful friend and neighbor. In the roster of people whose lives made a difference, he ranks high for all those whom he helped.
With his friends, he was a man's man, of a generation that grew up with long-ago role models of the sturdy no-nonsense type. He talked with animation and conviction about our shared love of the outdoors, and many other things too: taxes, and public policy, and books, and morality and the importance of developing character and self-reliance in young people.
That could sound serious, but there was always a twinkle in his eye and a keen appreciation of the humor and irony in life. His friends could always sense how he deeply loved his family, and the tributes of his patients show how truly compassionate and kind he was.
