It's so saddening and shocking to hear about Tony's news. I'd like to share my condolences for his family with everyone.
I have a picture of the group of referees from 2004, when it was my first time volunteering for FRC. Please feel free to share it on the website.

Tony's positive personality has been an inspiration for me. He will always be remembered.
Warmest condolences to his family.

Sincerely,

I worked for Tony at Citibank Canada during the brief period when we both planned to move to USA. His sense of humor and loud laughter will not go away from my ears. His no-nonsense attitude was easy to adjust and made you comfortable at any difficulty that one could face.

His stories about DIY, meeting Ara in the Home Depot store on Saturdays and the cost calculations about what he built versus what he could have contracted out was the entertainment of our lunch discussions.

It is sad that a man with so many talents and charitable work is no longer with us. It should only make every one of us work harder to achieve what he also wanted to reach for himself during his life time.

You will be remembered well Tony.
