Memories and Condolences
for Anthony Trask

Not sure what to say?





I met Anthony after purchasing a home in M.B. in 2002. The closing attorney had made a mistake and I needed assistance. He and I became friends, frequently had lunch together, and I enjoyed both his work ethic and his friendship. When I learned of his passing I knew I had lost a good friend. He will forever be missed in Myrtle Beach but will be warmly accepted in heaven. Rest in peace, buddy.

For all the family and loved ones, you were truly blessed by Tony's life. I will never forget that even as a mop headed teenage on the tennis courts he was showing the the strenght and heart of a true man. Gone to be with God all too soon for those whose lves he touched.
God give you peace in the coming days.

I was fortunate enough to have gone to Law School with Tone and graduate with him. I was deeply sadden by news of his death and extend to the entire Trask Family my condolences to the entire family. My father, JC Phipps, used to work for Marvin Transport in Lobeco, SC and hauled produce for members of the Trask Family. This was the way that we met and started our first conversation. Although I only live some 30 to 40 miles from Myrtle Beach, I had not seen or talked with him for years, but his name sparked my interest and I just wanted to express my condolences.

Neil Jr. & Family,
I have just learned, with profound sadness, that Tone has passed away. There are many fond memories of him - this while his brother Neil and I were best at Beaufort Academy. I spent a substantial amount of time in and around the Trask's beautiful home on Hwy 21. Tone was always an integral part of our interaction.

May the Lord comfort, strengthen and console the enitre Trask family in this difficult hour. God's Speed to all.
