A lovely Kind and gentle man, Tony will be missed by his friends.

Tony had a wonderful time at the Crosstrails in the Desert Convention in Phoenix, Arizona. He thought the fun badge tour was truly fun.

His lover, Jerry Brown, said that Tony was buried with his Times Squares badge and his square dancing “dangle” badges.[2]
