Bill and I just learned of Anton's passing today.....so sorry for your great loss....may he rest in peace. My memories of Anton are mostly of a young husband and father on Hull Avenue, and what a beautiful job he and Kathy did in renovating their family's home there. May wonderful memories of good times shared, bring you some comfort now.
