Tonio Casapinta was a good man, a very good man.

He was very conscious of the needs of the less fortunate and actively helped to lessen their burden as much as possible.

He was blessed with a strong determination and with tons of energy and guts, which helped him in no small way to assist or even take over various charitable initiatives that others may have shied away from or feared to manage.

I was shocked when I heard he was unwell and, from his words, I could sense he was aware time was not on his side. But a good man knows time is not of the essence and that his good works have a rate of exchange that defies worldly limits.

Tonio, your good deeds outlive you and will linger in the spirit of those you sought to help.
