He was known for his love of space, science fiction, music, and learning new technology (most recently adding drones to his work repertoire), Tony could often be found tinkering with his domes and gadgets. Whether he was in the backyard with his geodesic domes or spending time with family talking and listening to a good album, Tony embraced life with curiosity, a love of learning, and a reverence to being present in the moment. He left us with a lifetime of fond memories and love.
