And never forget, Nick.  Tony and Dot introduced you to A Root Beer, too.  
That definitely changed your life.

Tony was a man among men.  One of a kind and always the same every time you saw 
him. To say he will be missed is an understatement.
I have many pictures of him and the fellow fly tyers that  I will cherish 
forever.

Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

 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 legacy, both in the worlds of fly tying and bamboo fly rods.  May 
he rest in peace!
