I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Tony when he was in Korea, and having him continue to give me advice and counsel throughout my career. My deepest sympathies. He was a great guy and such a positive person. I will miss him and your family remains in my thoughts.
Sheryl,
My deepest sympathy on your loss. Tony was such a wonderful person. I so enjoyed our time together in C-Mates activities. I live close to your home in Beaverton now and have thought about your family every time I pass by.
May God's love comfort you and your family.
Sheryl, I was so shocked when Ross shared this with me at school. I hope you and your family are finding the strength that you need. I just want to extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family.
We are both so sad of this lost to you all . Dan and I will never forget the singing of We Three Kings at a party. A loving caring man to all.
I had the pleasure of working for Tony years ago at the Nike Charlotte office. He was an incredible role model and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Sheryl,
You have our deepest sympathy. Tony was truly one of the good guys. It was an honor to be on the team with him.
My God bless.

Sheryl, Andrea, Jacqui, and Denise,
The news of Tony's death has struck a very unexpected chord with our entire family. Our hearts ache for all of you.
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I am a friend and high school classmate. Tony was always a first class individual and I am saddened by his passing. You will be in my prayers.

Dear Sheryl and Family-Tony was a Buckeye through and through. He was an outstanding
teammate on our Undefeated Lacrosse Team in 1966 at Ohio State. An occasion such as this
triggers reflections on how Ohio State and more particularly Lacrosse at Ohio State brought Tony together with our team and shaped our lives.
As we consider the influence of Sports on our lives, we tend to think of values derived from Sports: Leadership, Discipline, Teamwork, and handling Defeat, and the possibility of a Sun setting and a life ending, and yet a new life beginning as the sunrise comes up on the other side as well, and Tony emerges from the scuffle for the ball cradling it ever so quickly and heading towards an opponents Goal.
It is this profound image I have of Tony at Midfield and his incredible competitiveness on the field and such a friendly sort off the field. I was truly looking forward to seeing him again next week, but guess now he will have to await my/ our arrivals on another plain
with the ultimate Referee calling the shots on goal. Thanks for sharing this sad news but in
a strange way it is likewise uplifting to know he is safe and loved by his teammates.
