October 13, Monday morning, 10.16 am, we rec'd a phone call and learned of your passing and that that you were to be buried today. I'm so sorry that we cannot be with you & your family today. We wish we could be with them today, to help them say goodbye and to let them know just how much joy you brought to others.
......But how lucky are we, and incredibly grateful, to have such wonderful memories of our times together; the camping trips, Forest schoolyard, picnics, card games, and just hanging out on porches, patios, kitchen tables and living rooms. You made every gathering such a joyful occasion. Your stories were colorful, your enthusiam; contagious, your appetite for adventure was infectious. And for some of us walking a different path in life, we lived vicariously through you. You dared us to let our hair down and walk a little crooked, because it was ok to not always be 'on', and good for the soul to be just a little 'off'. Thanks for those lessons Tony, they were valuable, as was your friendship, and the memories we have left to treasure. We know that you are 'WOW'ing the angels in heaven, cause you sure did "WOW" us here!!
With warm, loving, happy memories of you, we pray that you rest in peace.

We are in this world for just a brief time. But, when a person touches so many lives, and is in so many hearts as Anthony, then his life is for an eternity.
