I knew Tony as a genial force in NYC FIRST and when I first met Janet at Javits last spring (while loading up goodie bags for the Snack Attack) I was struck by how easy she made her effort seem, too. Tony was truly a generous and amazing guy and he spread the amazing around. We'll miss him terribly.

Greetings from Reading England -

I knew Tone for some thirty years and have lost a best friend who always bought joy and fun to my life. Finding this blog has made me laugh and cry and you all capture the big guy so well. I was the Paxtons first visitor in Canada when they emigrated and went on to be their most regular visitor year after year in Toronto, Cranbury, Zurich and the Far East. With Tone and his family you truly felt as if you were at home.

As I remember the big guy, it's clear that whenever I was with him we laughed a lot. Time with him was always fun and never dull. He was simply as good a friend as it is possible to be.
