I would like to express my condolences to the family and also recall the good times we had growing up SWT. I met Tony at the dorm in the summer of 1969. We both had dream and aspirations, and I am glad he met his primary goal of getting his PHD. I lost contact with Tony, but I still remember him always calling me CEVO. I guess you know with that means, but I believe he used that word to motivate my always study and meet my goals. I met most, and I guess like all the rest we did with the help others, such as your dad. He was also of up most help with the occasional ride home on weekends in his trusty Blue Ford PU. I always remember CEVO.

Dr. Castillo was my professor at PAC for two semesters, and always frequented the Math Learning Center where a few of us tutored. He was the example of excellence in mathematics, in teaching, and as an outlook on life. I will never forget him. My deepest condolences to the family, God bless you.

I did not know Antonio personally, however, we worked together occassionally on committees (at Palo Alto). Whenever our paths crossed he was polite and always said, "Hi" or "Good morning." His demeanor was so much like that of my father. Despite we only shared brief occsssions of interaction I am saddened by his passing. I offer my sincerest condolences and prayers to the family.

Dear Castillo Familia, It was my honor and privilege to have worked alongside Dr. C at Palo Alto College. His work ethic was strong and yielded only the best from everyone he met. He was a PROUD man and deserved pride and respect in return. May God bless all of you.

Mr. C (later Dr. C) was my calculus II professor back in the early 1990's while he was teaching night classes at SAC. A very passionate, inspirational and excellent professor he was and I always looked forward to attending his class! My sincerest condolences to his family. Such a great man and professor!
