for a Bridgeport icon who devoted his life to caring for people with autism.
Tony Nah, 72, of Bridgeport was
laid to rest at the Golden Hill United Methodist
Church. Dr. Carolyn Nah, Tony Nah's wife, says she married him at the
same church more than 40 years ago.
She says that he had wisdom along
with a caring heart. News 12's Frank Recchia has interviewed Tony Nah several
times due to his work connecting with people with autism.
The Autism Society
of Connecticut recognized Tony Nah for his special gift as a caregiver. He
moved to the U.S. from Liberia in 1975 and studied at the University of Bridgeport
and Housatonic before becoming a mechanical engineer.
His family says he'll best be
remembered for engineering a legacy of compassionate
concern for others.
