Real Friends

BY JOSHUA GATES, TUFTS STUDENT 1995-1999, ACTOR, LOS ANGELES, CA
It has been less than a month since I set up this website to help honor my friend and mentor, Tony Cornish and the response has been overwhelming. Someone once said that "When you die, if you've got 5 real friends, then you've had a great life." Well, in the past few weeks nearly 50 of Tony's friends from England to New York to New Zealand have taken the time to be a part of the celebration of his extraordinary life.

The news of Tony's passing is heartbreaking for me but in looking over these entries and seeing such a united front of friendship and benevolence, I can't help but feel so happy to have been a part of his life and in awe of the many friendships he inspired. May more friends continue to come forward and recognize our friend.
