Condolences
The family of Anthony J. Psomas has received the following condolences.
I first met Tony while I worked for Bear Creek Services and worked with Northwest House and often times the homes would interact for gatherings between houses and also the various activities they were all involved in. Tony always had a smile on his face and enjoyed life with his housemates and also the friends he interacted with. I haven't been the agency for 6 years now, but the clients are never far from my mind, so I was saddened today at the memorial service today for Curt Cady when I learned of Tony's passing. I always learned something new each and every time I met and saw Tony over the years I was with Bear Creek.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Jimmy, Vicky, Tasos, and George,
I worked with Park and Recreation for many years and had the incredible opportunity to work with Tony. Tony had the most wonderful smile and attitude about life. He was such a great sport. I loved coaching Tony in softball and hanging out with him during the night programs. I am so, so sad to hear about his passing. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
