Tony and Rosemary,
I just learned yesterday about your son passing. I remember Tony when you introduced me to him at El cap, when he was a teenager. I could see how proud you were of him back then. I knew he would grow into an awesome adult. I know words cannot help, but just know my prayers are with both of you and his family.
