Tony was an inspiration and a gentleman. Our world is less now that he is gone, but his contributions and camaraderie will always be in our memories. I picture him at peace on the river with a fly rod in hand. Blessings and comfort to his family and friends. Wes Wada -- -- You received this

Sad to hear. Tony taught me a lot about fly tying when he was living in New Jersey. Can't count the number of times he asked me to come to Sowbug. Work and lack of vacation time always got in the way. Maybe 2021. Who knows. Think I'll go up and tie a couple of his Froggies. Jerry Caruso "

Tony was the definition of the word gentleman.  I will be forever grateful for his encouragement of my son, Brandon.  They even share the same birthday, March 22.  I think of him fondly every time I see a Chili Pepper in my fly box and even more so when one saves the day!  Tony left a huge lega

Tony fought a valiant battle despite the odds. He was a good and generous man and I have fond memories of him when I attended the Sowbug in 2011. Even back then, his health was not great. Rest in peace Tony, the battle is over. Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver BC Canada On Aug 15, 2020,
