Dear Joe and Cheryl, I extend my condolences for your loss. Your friend Howard Ruskin

My high school graduation gift was a trip to Disney World in Orlando and we set up time to see Anthony. One night he joined us at Epcot. It was a beautiful day sunny, hot, humid normal Florida weather. My cousin Jana and I were standing in a spot for the laser show, Anthony said it was the best place to be and he walked away from us for a couple minutes. When he came back he was wearing a poncho and handed both of us one. We looked and him and laughed and said there are no clouds in the sky....

My most sincere condolences to you and the entire family. I remember teaching Anthony the tenor saxophone in Nova MS. And remember meeting him again at a wedding my band - Just Us was playing at in Hawks Cay. What a wonderful human being!
