William Thomas wrote a sympathy message

“Tony was such a nice man; a special person. He is most fondly remembered by us from our school years, as "coach" and then as the guy who ran TEEN CLUB in the 1960's at the Liverpool High School. He devoted his time and talents to providing a safe and fun-filled venue for the local teenagers. We were so pleased when he joined the Class of 64 for their 50 year reunion a few years back. May he rest in peace. Bill & Sue Thomas”
