We met when I was skinny and he had hair. Although our relationship was platonic, our love was passionate. Tony was my best friend of 30 years and the closest thing I'll ever come to a husband. He graduated from Hawthorne High (Los Angeles), class of 1969 and yes, the Beach Boys really did play at his prom. Tony loved meeting people. That is why taking friends' dogs to the park was something he enjoyed immensely in his last couple of years. Tony loved his family and his family loved him. Like his father, Bob, Tony never met a stranger. And like his father, for 60 years he enjoyed Joan's unconditional love. He also loved his friends and possessed a unique gift for overlooking their faults. Tony is preceded in death by his father, Bob, and brothers Tim and Mike. He is survived by his mother, Joan (a living saint), and younger brother Ron, Ron's wife Tammy, and numerous nieces and nephews who loved their Uncle Tony. He was a gifted gardener, drove for Super Shuttle for 18 years, and was at Altamont.
