Tony was a good friend for all the years we worked together at Lancaster Press. We shared more that a few laughs over the years. For many of those years Tony was not only a co-worker but also my boss and in all those years there were no harsh nor unkind words between the two of us ever. Tony was a kind soul and a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.
We kept in contact after we both retired from the Press and I’m sure going to miss those phone conversations and his laughter.

My friends and I remembered "Cork" from the 60’s. We all used to run around and go to dances, and hang out. Cork was always a gentleman and had such a great sense of humor. He was liked by so many people. He had a nice temperament and was always kind to me and my friends. He went out with a dear girlfriend of mine and we always remembered him to be a great guy.
