Thank you all for sharing your grief and collective emotions. It has been a privilege to be part of Tony's virtual water family, in real. We shared successes and pains at times together. Let's remember him and carry his light illuminating our water world. I came to meet Tony for the first time in 2002 when I was writing my PhD proposal on virtual water. I vividly remember when he said that research is not a simple career, here success is not measured with how many articles you write, you need that to get grants etc, but by how many you influence, how much you leave your impacts, and how meaningful your footprints are! Since then he became a part of me, professionally and personally. The last time I could see him was last year in London before the lockdown. He left a void never to fill! A respect I cannot measure, I gratitude I cannot express more. You left the deepest footprints in my life, and millions of your followers. May your soul rest in peace, Tony.
