Condolences
"My heart hurts for Tony's family. I remember we used to be in the same homeroom and Latin American history class back in high school. We also had the same lunch hour together. He had such an amazing sense of humour and his smile was oh, so contagious. He will be missed. R.I.P. "

"My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of such a great dude. Tony was one of the first friends I made in high school. We studied Japanese together from books we printed off the internet; He taught me how to play hackysack. He got me into Q101 when it was still a good station, and then proceeded to setup a "mosh pit" outside the front of the school until security told us to cut it out. He introduced me to his cool cousin (Jimmy), and told me to watch out for his other cool cousin (Michelle) when she enrolled. His voice, his laugh, his sense of humor and generosity; Truly one of a kind. "
