> The Oramge Hat Clib seemed to me to require  impressive endurance, I thought of it as a superhuman past time. I see the orange hat people almost every day when i go to my studio. They are in the water in Februwary! That was one of the things I admired about him. It is odd that I was just thinking about him, he was looking at apartments at the same time I was. He told me about openings in my neighborhood. I was passing by the place he was talking about today and thought of him. He was such a nice guy!

>>> Tony was a socially concerned independent filmmaker whose work included the short Peace March, 1976.  A feature film he was proud to have been part of is Chris Marker’s San Soliel, 1983.  He helped Marker as an assistant and location scout when he was filming in the Bay Area.

>>>  I can’t remember how we first met, but we both were involved with Canyon Cinema and ASIFA-SF (the Bay Area’s chapter of ASIFA, the International Animation Association).  He came to a few of the shows I presented at Intersection for the Arts when it was in North Beach.  We both enjoyed unusual adventures from spending a hot day at a waterslide park to outrageous Suicide Club outings including a giant party in an abandoned factory on one occasion and a party in an abandoned government warehouse on another evening.  He also enjoined discovering unusual restaurants and frequented a wonderful Burmese restaurant several times a year with friends (long before it received its present honors).

>>> Several years ago he began to have health problems so he retired and moved into an independent living complex in San Rafael.  He had a cancer that spread slowly…  His friend Jeanne Thomas flew in from Montana to help.  Since she had met me years ago, she asked me to contact people.  Tony is survived by a brother who lives in Connecticut.   Notes by Karl Cohen
