I have many great memories of Tony and Nina coming to eat every Thursday morning for breakfast at Perkins.  We laughed alot and shared many stories.  From politics, family, places to eat, etc Tony was always insightful and full of enthusiasm during our conversations.  I remember Tony and Nina’s suggestion the Eden Resort for brunch many years ago to me.  To my delight I went this past holiday season and loved it.  I thought I might actually run into Tony and Nina there.  Lets not forget Tony’s love for photography.  The photo of the blue wagon in the barn still adorns my fire place mantle during the fall months.  Everytime I look at, I think of those great times we shared at breakfast.  A great soul has gone home.  My thoughts are with you Nina during this difficult time.
