Not sure what to say?

Thank-you to all of Anthony's friends and family. You have been so kind and loving in remembering him. Never at a lost for words Anthony would be speechless. We could never express the comfort the condolences entered in the online forum have meant to us.
With heartfelt thanks, Alice

I am very sorry to hear this. Anthony was a very dear person we will not soon forget.

Because our hearts are broken and because our minds are still trying to understand why. It is hard to find words to say what we are feeling. You were the master of words. I miss you You were my big brother and I love you so. Be with God my Sweet Gentle Brother. Until we meet again.

Anthony was my mentor and friend through college. He helped me grow as a person and I enjoyed many of our talks and discussions of life and politics and culture. I will miss him very much.

We were sadden to learn about the passing of our cousin. Although we have not seen each other in years, we always kept in touch with the family news. Our prayers are with you.Your cousins and other family members from Richmond, Va.

I am very sad today upon learning of Anthony's passing. Rest in peace, my dear. God be with you and your family.

I am a richer person for having known this man. I learned from him. I laughed with him. Joy came simply being in the same room with this infectously cheerful in a bazaar way personality.

I have lost a coworker, friend and brother. My heart is sad because I did not follow up with him after he left us here at USSOCOM Lessons Learned. He was a great man. I learned from him. He always had something to say that would make you stop and listen. We would call him our Life line for information on any subject matter. Knowing him has made me a better person. I will miss him. May God almighty place a heavenly hedge around his soul and his family.

My memories of Tony are fond. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Gilpin family at this time.
