So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He was a very close friend of mine in high school. He was a very kind and giving person, and was never afraid to be himself. Regretfully, we lost touch over the years, but I will always remember him.

Nila, I am so sorry. Tony was such a good guy. I missed seeing and talking with him after I lost Molly. He was so good with her. Perhaps they can visit again now.
