TONY
1958 - 1995
TONY AS "AL" IN
"A CHORUS LINE"
A
CELEBRATION
OF HIS
LIFE
TONY starred in the movie version of A CHORUS LINE and can be seen as SAMMI CURR in "TRICK OR TREAT".
He also appeared on THE COMMISH and MURDER SHE WROTE, and
often danced in MUSIC VIDEOS choreographed by MICHAEL
PETERS!
TONY died from an AIDS-related illness in 1995. On July 27, 2000, we were informed by one of Tony's sisters that his cause of death was lung cancer, and that the specific type of cancer was AIDS-related.
"I considered Tony a friend. He
worked for/with me as a dancer for many years and he could
be incredibly frustrating and a major challenge but he was
very talented and creative and at his core a good person
with great heart and enthusiasm. My work was better for
his contribution to it. I miss him and all my friends who
left too soon!"

"For me, Tony always had a warm,
heart-filled smile and a deep soul-stirring laugh. What
greater gifts can we give as we pass through this lifetime?
Thanks, Tony."
MICHAEL MILLER
SOLID GOLD'S MUSICAL DIRECTOR

"I knew Tony very well. Although I had not seen him for about ten years when he passed away, I always thought of him. I miss him terribly. He was a wonderful person and a very talented man. I can still see him sitting on my couch while I listened to a tape that he had made.
How many precious people are going to die from this horrible disease before something is done to eradicate it.
I love and miss you, Tony."
CAROL ROBERTSON (formerly of Oxnard, CA)

"There was never a dull moment when Tony was around.....how he loved to have a good time....and I'm glad he spent some of those good times with me....he is missed. Thanks for the memories Tony...Love,Blev."

Appeared with TONY in "A CHORUS LINE"
October 10, 2000
Please don't cry
for this was not goodbye.
And do not think that this
was an ending,
but a journey
just beginning.
Look at the stars at night,
and you will see me
dancing in their light.
Listen to the wind,
and you will hear
the sound of my laughter
once again.
So please don't cry,
for this was not goodbye.
You will see me once more
when we are both walking
along this golden shore.
