Tony was a fun member of the group of friends Ray and I were in. He and Ray were on photo staff together. We did get together following his marriage to Linda but lost touch after that. I'm happy to know he had a rich, full life and made photography his career. He will be missed.

I was on the photo staff and in the photography club with Tony. I was sorry to hear of his passing but pleased to hear that he made a career of photography. Rest in Peace, Tony you will be missed.

I too knew Tony through the photo staff. He was a kind and enthusiastic person to be with and a quick study in all things photographic. Oh how I remember that great group of friends and the social life that developed spontaneously around it. Tony was a sweet, sweet guy. If there was a mean bone in his body, I never saw it. I'm so glad to know that one of us went on to make a career in photography and happy to see the posts above from you all.
