To the Family of Mr. Sisk,
I was a student of his at Grady High School. Every moment I spent with him was memorable. He challenged me to step outside of my box and live up to my full potential as a dancer. He also always had such a happy spirit about himself. Even if he yelled at us moments later everything was ok. I send my deepest and sincerest condolences to your family in this time of bereavement. I will always cherish his legacy and miss him. He will always live on through me as a dancer. We love you Mr. Sisk and you will never be forgotten. May God continue to bless you all.

To the Sisk Family,
Mr. Sisk was my dance teacher at Grady High School. He was an incredible person, with a care-free spirit and such great talent. We never left his class sad or upset because he kept us laughing. His words and instruction as a dance teacher, will forever live on through me as I continue my journey as a dancer. Cherish the memories. He may be gone physically, but he lives within all the lives he touched. We love you Mr. Sisk! May God continue to bless you.

To the Family of Mr.Antonio, as he was so lovingly known by at Price Performing Arts Center. My prayers are with you during your time of sorrow. May you seek comfort in the Lord, and trust that he WILL see you through. Mr.Sisk was the first teacher to introduce Modern dance to my daughter and left a lasting impression. He was well respected and fun loving teacher. One memory I have is he would have me hold him a bag of Famous Amos cookies from the snack bar, he really loved those cookies. I'm sure he is resting well with his Pretty Wings. May God Bless You.

Giny,
Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. It seems as if it was only yesterday when we were traveling to UA with Tony in tow. I am so glad I got to see him when you guys were in Arkansas. He was so sweet to us even though I am sure he had no idea who Virgie or I were. May God bless you in your time of sorrow.

Geenie and Sisk Family,
I still have memories of Tony and the rest of us(Licia,Kesha, Chris, Sonya, Thelma, all other kids in the neighborhood) playing in the yard and eating sugar butter sandwiches and drinking kool-aid. Tony would always have something crazy to say and the biggest grin on his face. He will be truly missed and our hearts and prayers are with you and the entire Sisk family during this time. May God Bless...
Love you all! Carmillia and JaShaun

Our deepest sympathy and prayers to Mr. Antonio's family. He was such an inspiration of Modern Dance to Erika that it inspired her younger sister Emily to eagerly anticipate taking a class with him this fall. He will be greatly missed by his Tolbert-Yilmaz dance family. May his soul rest in peace.

To the Sisk Family:
First off, my prayers go out to the family and may God strengthen you all during your time of grief. I was a student of Mr.Antonio my freshman year, when he first started at North Atlanta. For the past two years, he has really helped me develop into a better dancer as well as a better person. He taught us life long lessons beyond the class room through dance. He also cared about each and every one of us,and showed it everyday.
Though I am deeply saddened that Mr. Sisk is no longer with us, I am thankful that God blessed us with him and his talents. Once again, may God bless your family and thank you for raising such a talented, caring, and inspirational teacher & mentor.
With Love,
Desiree Houston

To the Sisk Family:
Our hearts are filled with sadness at the lost of a very special young man. Dance was his calling and when his job was done, the father called him home. He blessed our children with the gift God gave him, Dance. We are honored we had the opportunity to know him and to love him as our friend. We will miss him dearly. May God comfort you and your family. He never gives you more than you can bear.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Sisk's passing. He was going to be my teacher this year when I started North Atlanta for the 9th grade. I was looking so much forward to being in his class. I am sadden. To Mr. Sisk's family, I want you to know that he was a very nice person. He was so helpful to my mom and I about answering questions about high school and dance. My mom always tell me that when people go on to heaven to remember that they are your guardian angels now. Mr. Sisk is in heaven now smiling down upon you and he is an angel. Please know that he had an impact on kids and his talent will shine through those whom had the pleasure of being in his classes.

Then maidens will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
