Gateway Casinos announces untimely passing of CEO Tony Santo18 August 2023(PRESS RELEASE) -- Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited today announced that Tony Santo, Chief Executive Officer and Director, passed away unexpectedly on 17 August 2023. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tony Santo,” said Tolek Strukoff, Gateway’s President. “Tony joined Gateway as our President and Chief Executive Officer in October 2013 and became a Director in July 2017. His mission was to establish Gateway as Canada’s premier entertainment and gaming company. You could often find Tony visiting sites and staff from dawn to dusk connecting about their work, families, and lives. Tony was an iconic leader in the US and Canada and grew Gateway from a small regional gaming company to one of the largest gaming companies in Canada. However, Tony would say himself he didn’t do it – we did it together.” “Tony was an outstanding leader, colleague and friend, and he will be greatly missed. On behalf of all of Gateway’s employees, I extend our deepest sympathies to the entire Santo family.” |
