Anthony Loder, Jr. Obituary
Beloved son of the late Anthony and Margaret (nee Stinson). Dear brother of Marie Barclay, Marge Morrissey (John), Toni Soltanuk (Mark) and Leo Loder (Kathleen). Loving uncle of Paul, Wendi, John, Kristen, Jennifer, Joseph, Anthony and Katie and great uncle of Avery.
Anthony was a counselor with Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. Anthony was a beautiful and loving person who accepted his fate graciously. He was a stubborn man who never wanted to give in or give up. He used his ingenuity, creativity and sense of humor to tackle his daily activities with an I CAN attitude and never an I CAN'T. Anthony was a visionary who personified the term Handi-CAPABLE. He was a wonderful artist who loved a good laugh and was always quick with a joke. Through his many battles, Anthony always found time to help others who share the same fate as he. In the early 80's Anthony was a part of history. As an athlete in the Bayada Regatta, Anthony began his quest to inspire those with disabilities. After three decades, this rowing race now attracts competitors from all over the world. Through the years Anthony has continued to inspire his family, friends, as well as perfect strangers as he competed in The Annual Burke Wheelchair Games at the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in Westchester, New York. More recently, he made instructional videos on YouTube (YouTube: Tony Loder quad) in order to give hope to those with spinal cord injuries. Through his hard work and dedication, Anthony has been able to touch the hearts and souls of countless people.
Relatives and friends are invited to the viewing from 8:45 to 9:45am Monday at Annunciation BVM Church, 601 W. Browning Rd., Bellmawr. Funeral Mass 10am at the church. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery, Mays Landing.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Anthony's name to the Philadelphia Rowing Program for the Disabled, 4 Boat House, Kelly Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19130.

Tony was in my homeroom at Triton and I will always remember him as quiet and shy. I remember him at our reunions, especially his friendliness and humor.

Anthony,
I had a crush on you in High School. You were always so quiet and I was the opposite. I saw you again at the Reunion that one year. I was so impressed with what you had done with your life in the face of adversity. My regret now is, that I didn't get to know you better. Especially from what others have said. Bless you and may you be running through the clouds.

Wow, I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful and kind man. I will never enter Haddon Heights Park again without remembering Anthony. My family and I ran into him numerous times over the years there. He always had a great outlook on life. Anthony loved to talk to my children and was always interested in whatever they were doing. He was so patience and had such a sense of peace about him. Thank you Anthony for taking time out for my family and me. I know I will always be on the lookout for your van as I drive through Haddon Heights Park only now I'm sure it will have wings.
Forever missed, Susan (Driscoll)and Bob Leonchuck and family

Anthony, we are really going to miss you. Anthony always had a smile on his face and a friendly and encouraging word for everyone. He was a very diligent worker and was always thinking of ways to help others. His positive example and enthusiasm will live in all of us.
We will be praying for you and your family.

My Dear Uncle Anthony, It will be a "sweet miss" that I feel for you. I cherish all of the laughs and wonderful times spent together. It was my good fortune to have you as such a positive influence in my life. It was your encouragement that started my love for drawing. You made me feel beautiful, talented and loved.
Be sure to know that Avery will grow up knowing what a wonderful man his Great Uncle was and what a difference he made in the world. I hear there is a picture of Avery, Yourself and I in the living room. Thank you for making us feel so special. I am elated that the two of you had a chance to meet. I know a piece of you is with him as there is with me.
Thank you for watching over me. Remember when you gave me the "Screaming MiMi" when I moved to the city... oh and remember AAA when I got my car.....and remember when....I will ALWAYS remember.
I feel you are freed from your body (Although as far as you were concerned, you were never prisoiner to it). I think you would enjoy these words from Dr. Seuss "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." I will be smiling very often thinking of you. I am smiling now. I love you and will miss you. I LOVE YOU

We would have never met and married had it not been for you. We shared a lot of great times back in the Valley Forge Freedom Wheeler and EPVA days, especially at Burke Rehab and Salisbury Maryland. Loved practice nights at Haddon High School as well as all of family gatherings we hung out at. You will always be remembered.
Love,
Rose and John Kronberger
