Thank you for your comments. When Tony had his first go round we began an email exchange on occasion re: cancer/Christian walk & growth. He came a long way in the ordeal & was ready for the transition

We just buried a 45 year old with same MO as Tony three days ago. Colon cancer, surgery, chemo .. free for a bit & the relapse/metastasized to liver/bones etc. Wonderful wife & 4 kids ages 3-18

He was a musician who played for the Pope at the Vatican & was a composer & play writer, vocalist. I would like to think he is now in combo with Tony and a few others..

He & several others wrote the play passion musical Compassion & he was Jesus.. here are are few pix of him....I intend to get up a tribute thread but have not yet Last photo is of his daughter after the performance in 2005. She spoke at his funeral, with about 2000 in attendance & 12 priests celebrating the mass. He was a rock musician for the years prior to Christian conversion & was parish music director (HUGE church) for past 14 years & also still played in ensembles & at various clubs

First shot Gethsemame, w/Pilot, spear following death.. after play

Dolly, my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for your friend, his family and his loved ones. How sad that all these children have lost their fathers so early in life.

This is one of the mysteries of life I am still trying to figure out. It just makes everything else seem so trivial in comparison. We just need to live every day as tho it may be our last, live life to the fullest and be grateful for every blessing.
