I occasionally had the pleasure of working with Tony at a skilled nursing facility in Lake Waccamaw, NC. What a pleasure he was to be around! We bonded over our sensitivity to the current state of things and shared similar political opinions while on our lunch breaks. He was a sensitive soul that had a deep understanding of the complexities of human nature. He voiced his sadness at the current state of things and was perpetually concerned. I learned so much from him and still use therapy techniques that he taught me, even though he had no idea that he was teaching. He truly led by example and I am honored that I had a chance to know him. I remember he spoke of his family with affection and was really excited to be going to visit them in his folks’ new home, if my memory serves. The world is a better place having known Tony Case. If we treated one another the way that he treated me then the world wouldn’t know this pain. Love you, Brother.
