Thank you all for remembering Tony in each of your individual ways. No single person is all good or all bad. It´s easy to remember someone in a specific way during anger, regret, shame, or grief. Each of us has the choice to pick those memories. And when you all remember who he was to you, it shows my brother, mother and I that he made some sort of difference in the world. In the end, that is all any of us can hope for.

Thank you all for remembering Tony in your individual ways. I can´t think of a single perfect person, and he had plenty of time in his life to make mistakes or to mend them if he chose to. I can´t speak to his wishes or his choices, and I believe everyone has the right to remember him in the way they see fit. People are not all good or all bad and sometimes it´s easier to see one or the other. Please remember Tony however you need to, it means that people can continue to be not all bad and not all good.
