Rest in peace to my first boss in Grumman. Pleasure to work for you Tony. Gave 401k advice to a 23 year old almost 37 years ago and am forever grateful we discussed in your office. Thank you for your inspiration in my early career. Todd Burgess

RIP to my first manager in Grumman working on the EF-111 program in the Huntington Quadrangle in Melville for Quality. The man was amazing pulling me into his office as a young engineer giving this child 401k advice to contribute that, to this day, still resonates. I have played it forward Tony with those I mentored as you did with me. Love to this incredible man and his family.

He gave me skiing and fishing. In preparation for skiing, he took me to a used sports place on Jericho Turnpike. We got all of the ski equipment I needed cheaper than renting at the time. I never stopped skiing. When I was real young, I spent a weekend at the house, and we went fishing at Huntington Harbor. We didn't catch anything worth keeping. On the way home he said we can't go home empty handed, so we stopped at the fish market maybe on 25a. We ordered fish to cook for dinner and an order of large fried shrimp and ate them as we drove home. I believe he was on a diet at the time, he told me we don't have tell Aunt Nora everything about the fishing trip. I never stopped eating fried shrimp.

My Dad was the finest example of a man. His empathy and compassion for people made him many friends He cherished his family and made time for all of us . He always had kind words for everyone and gave good advice. His heart was huge and he showed us everyday. He saved his greatest love for our mom and God. We go on without him only be cause we know he sits with God and his Parents ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️
