I worked with Tony at TeamHealth. I had only met Tony a couple times in person but that was more than enough to see his joyful spirit and humor shine through. He joyfully shared his wisdom and knowledge with all those that cared to listen. He will be missed. Sending prayers and love to his family.
I worked with Tony at Teamhealth, mostly via long distance. His personality, however, was always joyfully conveyed in person or not. His humor and spirit were always present. I’m the relatively short time I knew Tony, he passed on wisdom, knowledge, and humor. Praying for peace for his family.
My first job out of Residency was with Tony. He helped further my career when I was still young, even though it meant me leaving the practice for an upward move. In the early days when I was in a difficult spot, I always asked myself "What would Tony do?".
Even now, I still ask myself the same question when in a difficult spot.It has served me well.
Even though we never worked side-by -side again, we remained close friends.
Tony and Sue were always so welcoming to Jeannine and me. He will be sorely missed and we wish our Sincere Condolences to Sue, Nichole and Tony, Jr, as well as the Grandchildren, and anyone else I've missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Tony's passing! My condolences to you and all the family. It was wonderful working with him as a registered nurse in the operating room. My fondest memory was going with him to a five star restaurant in Philadelphia when I passed the CNOR exam. Tony took me and Marianne Frederick because he was so proud of our accomplishment. He will be sorely missed!
We have had the good fortune of being Tony and Sue’s neighbors since 4-86. We became friends and Tony became the “go-to” guy for solutions to electrical problems, general advice, etc. He and Sue eventually became the “snow removal team”. Just some of the examples of their giving nature.
To me the best example of Tony’s selflessness occurred on 10-3-2019.
It was about 10:30pm when my wife, Maru, noticed I was showing stroke symptoms. Scared, she called Tony, who then called 9-1-1. When the EMTs arrived ---- there, in the background, was Tony’s comforting presence.
He drove Maru to the hospital and was in the ER when I was logged in at 12:03am.
Tony was there when they wheeled me away to the OR to bust the clot and remove its remnants. When I returned, hours later, Tony was still there with Maru. It was past 3am.
When he was finally assured that I was well on my way to full recovery, he left. It was close to 4am.
It was a horrific ordeal for us. It was a time when survival and the return to normalcy, were uncertain.
Maru and I will be forever grateful for the comfort his presence provided.
Tony was a man with a truly generous nature. He was our friend! He will be sorely missed.
Maru and Dick
Because Tony shared in my life, I share in your loss. Tony leaves us with memories to last a lifetime. Mrs. Barbara Ann Hawk R.N., CNOR(E)

Tony was a mentor and a friend. He hired me out of residency, mentored me as a young anesthesiologist and as a leader. His medical skills and knowledge, compassion for his patients, and ability to educate others serve as a lasting legacy
All my best for the family
