I was so sorry to hear of Tony's death. He is a part of many special memories of growing up in Wilmington. He was such a tremendous, loyal friend to so many of us who played in musical groups with him. I still remember watching Tony, Joe, and Ron drive off on the day they left for the military. My prayers are with all of his family and beloved friends at this difficult time. We grieve, but Heaven is brighter.
