Thanks for posting, Michael. Anthony was a friend, our families are friends. Our daughters went to school together, and our wives have shared some difficult journeys. I knew Anthony as an amateur photographer, an avid patron of Taiwanese culture, a mechanical genius, a loving and doting father, and of course a Linux nerd. I miss him already. ---

James’ information is basically correct, except that it is I and possibly Jed making the arrangements. We imagine it will be a celebration of Anthony’s life. The event will be in the social hall. Sunny will be there. What I will need is a head count of those wanting to attend, send to [mwbetz@comcast.net](mailto:mwbetz@comcast.net). Bring snacks and drinks. I am not certain who all is on this site, so please reach out to those you know who knew Anthony. More to follow. ---
