My friends Mary and Ron told me about Tony the cancer survivor whose picture is on several Community Transit buses. They told me that if I wanted the best pizza in the area to go to his place, #1 New York Pizza off Highway 9. They also warned me that New York native Tony would not allow pineapple on his pizzas!
Jim and I went there tonight and met Tony. What a character. He sat down and told us his story. Told us about "firing" a nurse during his hospital stay, Told us about his favorite doctor and showed us his tattoo "Thank you Dr. Costas".
Then we enjoyed some pineapple with Tony the correct way - soaked in Rum!
I probably haven't done justice to Tony's incredible fighting spirit. Put a link to the Providence Regional Cancer Partnership website story about him. He has also been in many local papers, most recently the Seattle Weekly.
