It has been several months since his passing, back in early to mid October if I recall correctly. Tone was a cool guy and a kindred smartass. He and wife M helped me tremendously with entertaining (via Skype) my grandgirl through her terrible twos back in the day. It was a true blessing! He is incredibly missed!
