Growing up on East Main Street in the 70s, it was impossible not to encounter an Arico! Anthony was a few years older than me, but I remember being in awe of him because he was a grown up! Much time has passed, and now we all have grown up. May you all embrace and cherish your memories of your brother and uncle. With fond memories of your family and deepest sympathy in Anthony's passing.

I loved talking to Anthony about fashion; sunglasses, latest Tommy Bahama shirts, hats,etc. He was a real nice guy and I enjoyed his company at his brother Tommy and Hope's picnics. We always brought his Coke and chips. He loved food. God Bless Anthony. Alan and I will miss his humor and our conversations at MacDonalds. May he rest in peace.
