“Now we’re having health challenges. Do keep Tony in your thoughts. He has another Immunotherapy infusion this coming week. Hugs and kisses. Lauren and Tony.”
Dow’s management team announced the actor’s death on Tuesday, saying the world lost an “amazing human being”.
“It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share with you the passing of our beloved Tony this morning. Tony was a beautiful soul – kind, compassionate, funny and humble.
