Loss of Tony Paxton

[Phalanx]

We deeply regret to inform you that one of our beloved IT colleagues, Tony Paxton, passed away unexpectedly last Tuesday Oct 28th 2008.

Tony gave a great deal. He worked diligently and successfully in inspiring young people to pursue science and engineering through his selfless work with the non-profit FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) in the NYC and NJ region.

Beyond his tremendous dedication to the local community, Tony also contributed to rebuilding efforts all over the world, including in Sri Lanka and the U.S. Gulf Coast. His volunteer work clearly demonstrated his passion for helping others and his commitment to making an impact on the world around him.

He is survived by his wife, and 3 children. Our condolences and thoughts go out to Tony’s loved ones at this time.
