Not sure what to say?

From the first time I met Anthony, probably at the Pub, he was always the friendliest guy with a great smile and a big voice. His interest in horses and the US Cavalry always gave us a lot to talk about. Really miss his great personality as he was so much larger than life.

Anthony, when you entered any room, you were 10 feet tall. You lived each day to the fullest and made a great life for yourself. You had a laugh that made everyone smile. You had a big heart and so much love bursting through your beautiful suits. You unconditionally brought joy to everyone you met. The loyalty you had to your family and to the Matisi name, made me proud to call you my friend. I will never forget you and always remember you. Hats off to you Anthony. I love you...

Dear Vicky, We just found out about Anthony and his passing away. We are so sorry for your loss. You are very blessed to have shared 34 years together. Losing a loved one is very difficult and I hope you have the comfort of friends, family and fond memories to make this time a little easier. We are so glad we got to spend time with you and Anthony while on the river trip last summer. We'll never forget his colorful storytelling and infectious laugh!

Dear Vicky, was incredibly saddened to hear about Anthony. I started thinking about how long I have known you. I believe one of the first times I met you both was at 42nd Street. Brought a smile to my face. May the wonderful memories you have help to sustain you through this difficult time. My heartfelt sympathies to you.
