I will never forget Tony's smile. That was his token everywhere he went. Through all of the years that I have known him, I have never remembered him to look sad or upset. I will miss this quality most of all.

My condolences go out to the Tony's family and to all those that knew him.

The world will be a little less bright without you.

There are no words or actions that can wipe away the sadness - only time ....

My condolences to Tony's family. Although I knew Tony only a short time, I know there is strength in his family.

Tony's spirit and enthusiasm were infectious. He made my FIRST volunteer experience so valuable and so much fun; I didn't hesitate for a moment when Tony asked if I would be back in 2009. I didn't even hesitate for a second when on Sunday Tony asked me to stand at the exit and collect safety glasses - again : ) How could anyone say "No" to that smile and wonderful soul...

It was a deflating moment when Tony told me he would be moving to London and would have to give up being the Chair of FRC. I told him it just wouldn't be the same without him. In typical Tony fashion, with a flush of embarrassment, he told me he would be there in spirit.

I was fortunate enough to have an office near Tony's. He would always make me smile as I occasionally caught him going into or out of his office.

Thank you, Tony!
