From the Daily Breeze ...
Tony Tranfa, web editor and jazz critic of the Daily Breeze, died April 18 2007 after collapsing in a hallway at Torrance Memorial, where he was admitted the prior week. Tony's death is a loss not only for his family and colleagues at the Breeze but for the journalism community, Editor Phillip Sanfield says on the paper's website. He was a strong writer, passionate editor, writing coach and, most recently, online editor. He was the watchdog of our Web site 24/7. Largely due to his work, the Breeze Web site improved dramatically in recent years.
