Tony and I worked together at USWest/QWEST/CenturyLink for the last 15 years. Tony was a good friend, loyal father and dependable collegue. when I first came to the company he took me under his wing and was always willing to put his own work aside to help out the "newb." We had the opportunity to have each other over to our homes, and he even let me stay the night when I had an Army event in Seattle. He also hosted my Son, Sam and I to a memorable Mariners game, that Sam remembers to this day. I admired his silent courage, dealing with his illness with a grace and bravery that is rare, today. I will miss him greatly, and look forward to our reunion, when my time on this earth is done. Be well, my friend.
