Canadian developer dies in fall from company sign
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

The man, Tony Agius, 48, died in just minutes after falling

approximately 4 to 5 meters (12 to 17 feet) from a ladder and hitting his head on the ground, said friend and business partner Carlos Luis Flores. Flores was unsure as to how Agius fell and speculated as to whether or not electricity from the lights in the sign was involved. He said that Agius was trying to fix the light himself because at the time, they were unable to get an electrician to the area. The office is located in Pueblo de |
Sierpe, Puntarenas, just north of the Osa Peninsula.
Agius had started the Térraba Land Co. in Costa Rica after spending the last 20 years residing mainly in the United States. He also had 30 years of international building and developing experience in Europe, the Middle East, and all over the American continent, said his associate.
His partner identified him as an extremely hard worker and an honest man with a big heart who was always trying to help people out in anyway possible. Flores also said that in the short time Agius was here he was able to learn a great deal from him, not just about construction but about everything. Flores added that he was unsure of Agius' exact family background but that there were definitely children that he spoke of frequently.

Hi and welcome to this site. As you have probably figured, we are under construction.
We are trying to make this a place that suits the name, something Tony would be happy about.
With that in mind, I think this has the potential to be much more than a website, it can become a central point for everyone that knew and touched Tony's life. Anyways these are my thoughts 12 days after my brother Tony died.
If you have pictures to share we are starting up a picture gallery on this site. Right now we are working on selecting the final album package, you can check them both out after you log in (log in is auto, need valid email to complete authentication) or you can wait until we drop one, then it will be in the main menu up top.
There is also a News about Tony section that is intended for news in regards to the celebrations in the summer.
Also if you have any suggestions, feedback, new links your would like to see, etc there is a Contact Us link.
?I think I'm going to have to add a guestbook
- Chris
