I was very sad to hear that it was indeed Tony who was tragically killed. In Junior High School I used to "hang out" with Germano and have many happy memories of that time. As Grade 7 girls, we used to "fawn" over Germano's cute older brother, Tony, although we didn't really know him. Germano, I am so sorry for your family's loss. If you'd like to "catch up" my e-mail is below. My name was Liz Keep in Isaac Brock. - Posted by: Liz Duerksen (Friend) on: Apr 03, 2008

Being an old school (Isaac Brock and St. Paul's) friend of Germano's, I want to offer my condolences on the untimely passing of Tony. I remember him as Germano's cool older brother, and from briefly working with him at the City Of Wpg. His intelligence and sense of humor stand out in my mind. I can clearly recall him giving Germano and I a ride to a St. Mary's dance, imparting big-brotherly advice to us on the way. He was a good guy.
