Tony had the biggest heart, the warmest smile, the most helpful attitude of anyone I have ever met. I am truly honored to have considered myself a friend of his, honored to have worked alongside of Tony with FRC, FTC and FLL. Tony, thank you so much for everything you have done to make this world a better place. I will miss him. Very much.

***********

Tony was a true role model, always full of passion, and a source of inspiration. He was the “big” man. He was outstanding, kind, generous, and magnanimous. Tony taught me lessons in giving. He gave himself fully, to his job, his colleagues, and he gave back to the community and the young generation. It was a pleasure for me to have known Tony and have worked with him reconstructing houses to those devastated by Katrina hurricane in New Orleans, or in planning big events such as the FIRST Robotics at Javits. I will miss the big man!
