Our beloved gardener and friend passed away suddenly this month. Tony was a daily, dependable presence in our lives. He tended the community gardens as well as maintained twenty homeowner properties on the hill. He knew so much about plants, and trees, and could fix things.

Tony's work ethic was rare. His kind soul touched all who knew him. By equal measure he had to feel the collective affection the community held for him. WHCA plans to honor his memory with a plaque.

A service will be held on Wednesday August 31st at 7:00 PM. The Sedeno Sandoval family extends a warm invitation.

Tony watering a cactus. Earlier in the day it was smashed by a truck. He removed the damaged paddles, replanted, and lovingly watered it. Today, it's doing well.

Rest in Peace, dear Tony.
