I received the attached message from Jim Copeland just a few
minutes ago reporting the death of Tony Willott. According to an
email from Dorothy Willott included below, Tony passed away
yesterday. No details as to services.
Thought everyone would want to know. Those of you who knew Tony
know that in addition to being a noted hybridizer of median iris,
he was a wonderful, gentle, caring man. He will be missed by all.

Hi Everyone:
We just got this message from Roger Mazur. Apparently, Tony Willott
died yesterday.
Hi Dorothy,
I am so sorry to hear about Tony's death. He will be missed by
all. Whenever I saw him, he always had a smile, which I will never
forget.
Take all the time you need, but if you do make it to Austin, you
will have the support of everyone.
My sincere condolences.
Roger

Hi Roger,
My convention registration is paid, my plane tickets are paid
and I have a room reserved at the convention hotel, however, I am
not sure whether I will be able to make the trip. My husband died
yesterday and will have a funeral later this week. I don't feel up
to making the decision right now.
Dorothy
