Tony had a beautiful personal life with great achievements and a fantastic legacy.
I met Tony in Saudi Arabia, we worked together at Bechtel Corp. building the Riyadh International Airport and later building the Istana Project Palace in Brunei.
Tony became more than a brother, the dearest friend I ever had in my life. We never ever had an argument, always he was very professional and caring. 
Santi, Alex, Chris and Nick the beautiful family Tony left are the most loving and caring I ever seen taking the best care that Tony deserved, all what I can say deep from my heart is that your loss is my loss and we should be grateful and are lucky that Tony shared with us his mind, heart and fantastic beautiful life. 
I miss your true friendship, I miss the great man you are, you are a unique hero the best I will ever know.
Tony, you will always be on my mind and I remain grateful to you all my life.

Tony and I first met in Jakarta Indonesia in the mid '70s when we were both working on the Arun LNG project. Our friendship lasted over the years, despite frequently being out of touch with one another as we were often in far-flung places. 

I will always remember Tony's mordant humor and unflappable good nature in the face of sometimes grim circumstances. I am sure Tony will be missed dearly by all who knew him.

My sympathy to the Daum Family,
I remember as a child visiting Steve and Tony and viewing the massive butterfly collections they had and other collections. 
It was always interesting to go there to visit.  It was evident early on  that Steve and Tony would be a very successful as adults.

My sincere sympathy to Steve and family in the loss of his brother Tony.  I have not seen Tony in many years.  
I met Tony in Butler in the late sixties and still remember his love of trains and his desire to travel the world.
Tony's obituary reflects an amazing life of personal achievements and a remarkable legacy.
My sincere sympathy to his family and to you Steve as you mourn the passing of your brother, Antoine.

I knew Tony in his late High School years and never had a better friend that his brother, Steve, who was in my graduating class of 1960. I admired Tony's intelligence, sincerity and humor. As Socrates inquired: If death is like a dreamless sleep, is not eternity a single night?

Sincerest sympathy to Tony's family.  Tony was my neighbor growing up on Kittanning Street in Chicora.  I am so glad that I got to see him last year at the Karns City Reunion, and have that chance to say hello.

There will always be a special place in my mind and in my heart for Tony. Throughout my life, he was both a cousin and a friend, who always took time to inspire and encourage me, and of course to make me laugh. I will miss him more than words can describe.

My sympathies to you Santi, and to Alexander, Christopher and Nicholas. You made him very happy and proud. My sympathies extend also to Steve and Joan, and to the family. We are all so lucky to have had him in our lives.

I have know Tony since the late 70's.  An  advance collector and great researcher.  My thoughts are with the family and Tony.

"Tony had become a terrific friend over the last several years.  We had a great deal of common interests and  communicated frequently by e-mail. He was a true gentleman, always willing to give his time and share information to help answer questions. I will certainly miss his friendship and kind words of encouragement. His passing will leave a void in my life."

I've communicated with Tony only through our emails on a matter of common interest. But I quickly came to feel respect, admiration and affection for him. I will miss him a great deal.
