Well, he lived a full and happy life.
When my family was first exposed to Ham Radio we lived Long Branch, and my
dad got licensed while we lived there. Tony was bigger than life to the
local hams for his technical expertise, he had many homebrew sets all over
his shack. He was an early Elmer to my dad, now also an SK (WA2UDV). Tony
was your typical Brooklyn Italian with a sense of humor that made local
radio get togethers great fun. Back in the 60s he and his brothers had
this big summer barbeque to which we were invited.
Here's an example of his humor:

He was always on 40 mtrs and loved QRP which is what my early logs
show: every qso was marked Tony was qrp.
RIP Tony.

I'm sad to advise that NJDXA charter member Tony Colaguori, W2GUM, had become
a SK. He was 91.
Here are the details from the Asbury Park Press.
