    I worked with Tony at Elmwood Sensors in the late '80's. Although I lost touch with Tony over the years, he had a tremendous impact on me and I recently felt the urge to reach out to him. I am just learning of his passing and am deeply sorry to the family for their loss. Simply said, Tony was a great guy and a good friend to all. God Bless You Tony. Condolences, Ed Craig
