Tony had numerous very close friends and wonderful and devoted neighbors whom he loved.  A private and spiritual man, he loved his church, friends and family.

Born in Harrow, England, Tony was a proud U.S. Air Force Veteran of the Korean War and had served in Okinawa. Retired from Kodak in 1986, he had been a KODA-KID sent from England as a young child to Rochester by Kodak, along with other young children, to save them from the conflict of World War II.  England had lost many children during World War I because of gas and bombing raids and Kodak stepped up to this opportunity to save children of employees.
