I dunno what to say; aside from,"Bummer." I just had this message from Tony at 2:15P [his time?] yesterday regarding a hard copy of his book. I didn't open it until this morning. We'd had an on-going dialogue for a long while .. on numerous subjects. Here is his last comunique to me:

"Hi ____ , I'm just waiting for one to be delivered to make sure there are no errors/problems/quality issues.

It'll be fulfilled out of the USA so you would have to then send it to me for signing I'm afraid but I would be honoured to do so.

Regard,
Tony"

Wot can a person say about such a fellow(?), aside from the fact that I am honored to have known him & considered him a friend? It just breaks my heart to learn of his passing. As may be seen from his above remarks, he was consistent throughout his ordeal; he NEVER flinched. I can't really express the respect I have for that and for Tony. God bless you, my friend, you will be missed, already.
