Richard Kalata

wow I'm so beyond shocked at this. I got the opportunity to meet Anthony just 3 days before this happen. Had a 2-3 hour conversation with him, what a great spirit. Rest in Paradise to your beautiful soul.

We were there when Richard was born and have followed his life ever since. Our hearts are broken and hurt for you. You are all part of our family and we are here for you. Anything you need, anything. We love you.

Anthony was one of my best friends at the College of Charleston. We met in our hospitality classes. He was quiet at first but once you knew him he never stopped talking. He was one person that could always make me laugh. I cannot believe he is gone and the tears have not stopped yet. I miss you Anthony.

I never had chance to meet this handsome young man, but everyone at the office sure heard a lot about Richard from his adoring Aunt Debbie. Debbie glowed when she talked about his recent graduation from College and Disney internship in Orlando. I know her heart is breaking as is Richard's entire family and friends. May you find strength and comfort from each other and with God's help find peace.

Richard was an amazing person with a good sense of humor and good business smarts. My condolences and prayers to his family because I can't imagine how hard this is. I know last time we talked he was excited about his new experience that awaited him in Florida. I hope he made a lot of friends and leaves a positive impact on their lives, like did while a student at CofC.

Anthony was a special young man and he will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure to meet him. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, his family, in this difficult time.

I am so saddened by the tragic loss of Anthony. We had the privilege to meet him through friends when he was working as an intern for the resort on Hilton Head. He stood out as a very kind, responsible, respectful and articulate young man, with great potential! His family will remain in my thoughts and prayers, as I am sure his loss is tragic beyond words. He truly was a gem, and will be missed by many! Rest in Peace.
