Tony was one of the best lead alto saxophone players that the PWJB ever had. He was a confident leader and was always concerned with the success of his section. He showed respect for and encouragement to his fellow musicians. His sense of humor was envious with a nickname of "Tunafish". I send my most sincere condolences to his wonderful family. They have much to be proud of. I was fortunate to have known him and to have him as a student. God bless.

Dear Christy, Nicole and John - I can't tell you how sad it was for Mindy and me to hear of Tony's passing. Tony and I lived together for a good part of the 70' (the Prism/Europe years). We are glad that since that time he has had the opportunity to become a loving husband and father; and we are very sorry for your loss. Jack Craynock and Mindy Rudd
