Even Bruce Beck from NBC New York paid his tribute: “The @nypost photographer was one of the best on the planet. He was a New York Treasure; a generous man who loved his family, friends & his craft. My heart is broken. RIP Anthony J. Causi”

For the past 3 weeks, Causi battled the coronavirus. A camera captured him during his moments of intense battle.
