It isn't easy to pay proper respects to a great friend of many years, but we will try. Firstly, for a doctor to be as unassuming as Dr. Macro was, is highly exceptional (rare, unexpected, unusual, etc.), but humble he was. He never assumed an attitude of superiority which he had certainly earned with his many years of medical training and experience. Jim especially enjoyed meeting with Tony at the local McDs where the doctor and Captain Wayne Carter of the Eden PD discussed former criminal cases they had jointly investigated. Having served his country in the US Army the Doctor was obviously a patriot. No need to say more. Finally, Tony was a tribute to his hometown of Eden, having toiled for many, many years in his yard to enhance the beauty of the neighborhood with his plants and flowers. His yard was the first we noticed when moving to Eden years ago. Requiescat in Pace.
