“Good Morning America” is mourning the loss of a beloved cameraman.

Robin Roberts announced on Wednesday that studio camera operator Tony Greer died following complications due to coronavirus.

“He was such a bright light working at our studio for more than six years,” she said. “You could just feel Tony’s beautiful spirit, you could feel it from a mile away.”

She continued, “We love Tony and so many things that he loved. He loved his family, his beloved mother Fanny, his sister Janet, his brother Kevin. He loved taking his nieces, nephews, any relative who came to visit him, he’d take them out and show them the city.”

Roberts noted that Greer is survived by his longtime girlfriend, also named Robin.

“She lives in his hometown, Chicago,” she said. “They loved traveling the world together. They traveled extensively. And Tony loved his music. Playing guitar in his band, picking up gigs around the city, he played a mean guitar, he was a cool dude.”

“We loved every single moment we were blessed to spend and share with Tony,” Roberts finished. “Our condolences to his family in Chicago. To his mother Fanny, we have to say this to you ma’am, your son was a good man. He was kind, he was thoughtful, he was always a gentleman.”

Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos also expressed their condolences.

New York is currently an epicenter of the virus, with New York City reporting 77,967 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 3,602 deaths as of Wednesday morning.
