Tony was one if the finest, most loyal and dedicated friends I've ever had. I had the privilege of knowing and working with Tony after he left Philadelphia and went to Washington, DC. He worked both smart and hard, turning derilect buildings into beautiful homes, and turning lives around for some talented yet needy young people who only needed a chance to acquire basic skills. He was a teacher, counselor, craftsman and mentor to everyone he came in contact with.
Tony, at one point, was injured yet he never missed a beat - nor did he miss any opportunities to give his students s boost whenever a need arose. Tony was a fine man and as I said it was my sincere privilege to call him a friend.
He will definitely be missed by me and my family. Tony, may you rest in peace.
