Anthony Martin Konrath died on Feb. 29, 2024. He was born in 1948 within the sound of Bow Bells in London, and with enthusiasm he embraced life throughout the following 75 years.

He truly was the epitome of a Renaissance man with several wildly different careers and interests.

His career started at Lloyd's of London, which clearly held little interest because within three years he was at Maria Grey College, secured a teaching degree and started at a multicultural school in Hounslow teaching children with special needs and those with reading difficulties.

In 1977, he met and within two days moved in with Bryan Green and began to expand his interests, including returning to the University of London at Sir John Cass College for goldsmithing, culminating in gaining degrees in diamond mounting and jewelry design and becoming a Fellow of the Gemological Association. Not satisfied with that, he in parallel entered into couples therapy, ultimately working as a trainer for the Marriage Guidance Council (Relate). His thespian character soon emerged as he became an Agony Uncle for a weekly program on the BBC and in various newspapers.

In 1990, he launched his private counseling practice with many high-profile clients until his relocation to the United States in 2000.

In 1993, he was appointed to the United Nations steering group for The Year of the Family.

The year 2000 saw Bryan and Tony's decision to buy a vacation home and then, in 2002, both their worlds came to a screeching halt and a change of direction with Tony's diagnosis of pancreatic cancer followed by major surgery. With the help of Bryan's mother, Kitty, and many in this community, he remarkably survived the next 22 years, filling his world with jewelry making, acting, volunteering, and serving on Waterfront and AH boards. Tony had many exhibitions, starting with a two-person show in London in 1986 through to well-received showings at The Studios of Key West

He delighted in roles in a wide variety of plays at the Waterfront Theater, Red Barn, Fringe and Tennessee Williams Theater. He delighted in everything from directing Broadway 3 Ways, producing "Peter Pan" at Blue Heaven, being thrown through the window in "The Play That Goes Wrong" to the Narrator in "Rocky Horror" to Meyer I Drossel Meyer in "Nutcracker." His most despised role was as the Simon Cowell bitter judge in Aqua Idol.

Always reading, a nightmare competitor in a trivia contest, opera lover, comedian, companion, and raconteur.

He leaves a brother, Matthew, and his husband of 50 years, Bryan Green.
