Friends and Family Members,

Tony worked as a programmer with my husband Neil and me and for many years while he was going to school. He was delightful and we are very grateful for the time we spent together.

There are many stories to tell, but in following the theme of music, I'll relate a musical tale! Neil and I are also singers and musicians. Consequently, we spent lots of time talking about instruments and songs, etc. However, they were working on a particularly large and grueling development project titled SAS. At times it became so overwhelming, they would do anything not to have to code it! They'd turn on the radio, help me fold and stamp newsletters and flyers for my business (in fact it was Tony that introduced us to self adhesive stamps and did they ever save time!) One day however, Neil finally put up signs in each of their offices, "Nothing but SAS!" no talking, no practicing guitars... Focus, focus, focus. However, there wasn't a day that I walked by his office during that time that you couldn't hear the music that flowed from him in the form of humming! To this day, I will never forget that, as we will never forget Tony. I still walk by Neil's office everyday and hear him hum and this brings back fond memories.

We wish you all the best, God Bless you.

Julie and Neil Friend
