Tony was a wonderful soul.

Tony & I crossed paths while we were working on the IT CoE initiative at Credit-Suisse. In classic style, Tony accepted a temporary assignment to Pune, India. When I asked how he was doing, he would often quip that he was surviving on fried food and bottled beer.

He never complained or had a negative word to say about anyone. He was always quick to smile and he stepped up to service when called upon. I admired these character traits.

The world will be less bright without his presence.

Take care Tony.... It was my pleasure.
