I was so saddened to hear of Tony's death. I thought we were still young and healthy! Tony & Janet were both classmates of the Class of '64.
Tony had a heart of gold and was always glad to see you. I had read recently before his death about him stopping and helping someone in distress. That's the kind of guy he was.
And he was a pretty good actor, too. I think we were in the Junior or Senior Play together. Do they still have those? Probably not!
I will certainly miss Tony and I know his family and many friends will, too.
