20 February 2011: I received the news when I was with Sheldon Adelson and a Japanese media crew at MBS. My ex colleague and drinking buddy, Tony had passed away. He navigated me through this society in my first months here. At Singapore Casket, his wife looked distraught but polite as she always was. It was rather more heartrending that their two daughters, especially the younger one who even remembered my name, was so nice greeting me and answering my questions about what had happened to her father so suddenly.
