Fat Wreck Chords posted a eulogy for the late Tony Sly of No Use for a Name.
Throughout his lifetime as a musician, whether it was fronting No Use For a Name, or during his solo career, it was as if he was speaking directly to each of us, and because of that, each of us felt a special connection to him. Of course the real connection was to his family, and his loved ones, but somehow when he sang "International You Day" (for Brigitte of course) you felt that he was singing to you. Thank you, Brigitte, Fiona, and Keira, for sharing him with us. He was loved by so many, and will be forever missed.
Included in the eulogy are details for the upcoming memorial service for Tony and a place where people can donate money to help support Tony's daughters, Fiona and Keira. The memorial service will take place August 10th in San Jose at Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph, located at 80 South Market Street at 9:30 AM.
Fans can also send letters to Tony's family to Tony Sly Memorial, PO Box 54405, San Jose, CA 95154.
