RIP Tony

Very sorry to hear about Tony's passing. He seemed like a really great guy. The times we talked on the phone, I really enjoyed the conversations with him.
He and his family will be in my prayers. Rest in Peace Tony!

 

Sorry to here about tony, my prayers are with him and his family, you also mike, I know you and tony were very. Close, as brothers should be,

So sorry to hear this. I meet Anthony (Tony) many times at the Chicagoland shows. I know he will not only be missed
by his family but many friends. And Mike hang in there the best you can.

RIP Tony

I also shared numerous conversations with Tony and many deals on parts back in the day.  One hell of a nice man,  I will miss him as well and have lost another friend.   -Barry.

RIP TONY My prayers are out to him and his family.......

Mike, condolences to you and your family.  I had the pleasure of meeting Tony in person a few years ago and we talked on the phone now and again since then...such a nice guy.  He was one of the great ones and will be missed by all.

RIP Tony, 
Stay strong Mike,

Well, shit! I have started typing this message several times and deleted it because it could not convey my feelings. Being as jaded as I am, it was a pleasure to meet, converse and study the slot hobby with Tony, a truly genuine nice guy. My friend, I will miss you, your projects and our get togethers to work on slots. I believe we will all be a lesser person with your passing. My thoughts and prayers are with PinballMike, and the rest of Tony's family. RIP, my friend.

Well said Dan,  I agree with your words 100%.  I am upset as well.  NLG  could list him on status in posts,karma etc. on the bar to honor him,  it would mean a lot to me above all rest just for a few-- :139-. Barry.

PWRSTROKE  Joey called me 4 maybe 5 hours ago and ask me how many members we have lost by death. I could only recall two, Tony and the fellow in Phoenix ( to save my life I can't remember his name ) anyway Joey is planning to change something on their ( I don't know what to call it so I'll call it their avatar page.), so he's way ahead of you.

One more thought before I turn in for the night. Tony/Anthonty Loved the games he had,was building and this site from great people he had meet ,talked to etc.  Never over all the years was there a problem with this man.  Was always full of joy and animated and exicited about his hobby.  Shared pics with his job and mine and exchanged a lot of love for hobbies and work.  I truely will miss him but I think perhaps He may stick with us all that known him.  Good nite and Merry X-mas Tony and to all of Nlg.------- :235- :285- :238-.  Barry.

Buzz,  That would be excellent if Joey could do that.  I had tears earlier and get more when I talk about it more-Thank You--Barry.

We also lost Nightmare Tony, who was a former SNK/Romstar employee and HUGE in the arcade game scene. He posted in the pinball, arcade, and monitor forums, so that makes 3.

Sucks because we lost both Tonys to cancer. I hate cancer.

Will say a prayer for the families.

Oh, wow! I am so sorry to hear about Tony. Like others here, I never met him but we had many long enjoyable conversations on the phone. He was always willing to give and help others here and shared his experience, knowledge and warmth with everyone who knew him.

Tony, I will miss you. Mike, my prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family.

Stat :31-

Barry, Buzz, and Joey, I think that would be a wonderful and appropriate gesture.  :89-

    Was his name Rick ? I think his avatar was him sitting on a motorcycle . I think he was starting up a printing business . Can't recall and SORRY if my memory just listed a active member  P.B.

For what it's worth I had some flowers sent to the house and  ask them to just put from NLG on the card.

Thanks buzz from all of us on nlg,  your one special member k-plus karma to you :89- :71-

Tony,  we have not forgot about you.  You are in Heaven now but touched us all that knew you.  --- :235-.  Many miss you but know you are in a better place now.  Your Friend, ***** .  Also a Merry X-Mas to all Brothers and sisters Here.   

That was really nice. I miss Tony , I regret he never made it over to take apart my bb2. When he came over the few times with mike his brother it wasn't nice outside of the machine but ya mind if I open er up..

Oh crap, I missed this.  :60- :8-

Back when I was a n00b, the first time I blew up an eprom in one of my machines, Anthony sent me what I needed to get it fixed, and wouldn't let me give him a dime. Over the years, he helped me time and time again, never asking for anything in return. When he finally needed something I could help with, I returned the favor, but never even came close to evening the score. Sorry to hear of his passing and condolences to Mike and the rest of his family.

Buzz, the other guy was Rick Henry, a fellow MC rider and all around stand up guy. His username here was rickh, nickname Animal in meatspace... another great guy I never got to meet face to face and share a cold one with.
