I  met Tony in 1978 at Kent State University, when students erected a "Tent City" to protest the building of a gymnasium on the site of the May 4th shootings. Tony had joined with other lawyers to do everything they could do legally to preserve what many believe is a historical site in our political history.
  Whenever I saw Tony, he consistently shared his quick wit and continuing passion for fighting injustice and mediocrity. His sudden and unexpected departure leaves me saddened and reminds me, once again, that every day is a gift I need to spend as wisely as I can.
  The words to "Carry It On" by Joan Baez are resounding in my heart this morning as we mourn the loss of another brave soul who consistently challenged the status quo.
 
             Chorus:          There's a man by my side walking,
                                  There's a voice within me talking,
                                  There's a word that needs a'sayin,
                                  Carry it on, carry it on.
 
                                   They will tell their empty stories,
                                   Send their dogs to bite our bodies,
                                   They will lock us in their prisons,
                                   Carry it on, carry it on.
 
                                   If you can't go on much longer,
                                   Take the hand held by your brother,
                                   Every victory will bring another,
                                   Carry it on, Carry it on.
 
        I choose to believe that Tony's spirit will touch many lives at this time of his passing.The shared stores, memories and good deeds of his life will enable us to know more about who he was and how he chose to share his time and talents.
         My sincere condolences to Mary and his family members,
                                                                             Evie
