Anthony, thank you so much for being there for us. I am glad to call you my friend. Your guidance and support brought me to where I am today. I miss you everyday. I miss your advice on relationships, school, family. The hours we would spend trying to get my life on track. I have arrived pal. Finished school and made it through the storm. I sure do wish you were here to see me and my son now. I hope everyday that Alex is doing good. Love you.

As time has gone by since Anthony's passing, I still find myself thinking of him and the rest of my cousins and my aunt Jane. I remember so well when Jane and the kids came to visit, she and my mom would go shopping and I would be left to baby sit all 9 younger kids. I remember Anthony best as a child. It has been at least 20 years since I have seen him in person, but I always knew, both from knowing him as a child and from reports from my mom and other relatives, that he was a very good man. Our family has lost a very good, warm and loving man. The good Lord has surely welcomed him with open arms. My family sends their love to my cousins and to Anthony's wife and children. We will think of you often.

"A.P.", Brother, you gave me a chance when most men wouldn't have, and changed the course of my life. You taught me the way of true brotherhood, and shared with me the pride of living it. You exlempified honesty, integrity and class. You helped make some of my dreams come true. Thanks to you, I know how it feels for a man to hug his "brother", and that is something I say to very few. No one will ever take away the memories of the rides, camping and racing we shared. You will live forever in my heart.

I still think of Anthony as my brother even though I haven't seen him for several years. I know if I would see him today he would still give me a big hug and call me Sis. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to be a part of Anthony's life. My heart goes out to all of his family, especially Doc, Rita, Robyn, Becky, Carrie, & Brad. Nope, I didn't forget you Danny, Love Ya Much! Also to Jane who may have never realized what an inspiration she was to me. Anthony, you are forever an angel who will always be loved. (Give Janice a hug from me too)

To Anthony's Family; I have known Anthony well since high school. He was a great friend and one of the most kind and compassionate people I have ever known. We spent many great summers together in Centerville and Texas, just riding our bikes and enjoying life. Although I had not been in contact with Anthony for many years, I often thought of him and wondered what he was up to. Please find comfort in knowing that whoever he came in contact with, he made a lasting impression of kindness and friendship. Ride on Anthony!!



Miss and Love ya,

We knew Anthony as Ben's dad. We will miss him. I remember talking with Anthony while our sons took their driving tests . . . As he talked about Ben, Anthony had a smile on his face that was big and bright. I will never forget his smile. Anthony was a very proud father.



May your hearts mend and your memories of Anthony stay forever strong.

We remember Anthony at the time of need when Dennis Valentine passed last July and the way he stood by his mother Jane Valentine during that time. We also feel like we know him by knowing Jane as we have for many years in seeing many understated but very profound inner strengths. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out and up for all of Anthony's family.

Our friendship began about four decades ago. What adventures we had (and Danny, as well) in those early years. Periodically, something will remind me of one of them, and it makes me smile. I have often thought what a pain I must have been to your Mom and Dad, being into some mischief with the two of you on a regular basis. Over the years, we each gathered more friends, but you will always have been my first and best friend. You were a good friend to many, and I can tell from these writings that has continued over the years. It has been too long since our paths last crossed. My mother would always tell me when she ran into you, and what a nice looking and polite young man you had become. It doesn't suprise me that you stepped up and took such good care of your mother. You did such good work, that it got noticed, and I guess He needs you more.

*Just between you and me, sorry about that business with the "cast".

Great job living life to the fullest in your own way.

My deepest sympathy to all of your family. Until we meet again.

My condolences to Anthony's family for this tragic loss. I never drive by the old Scooter Shed east of Denton that I don't think of Anthony and the old times.

Even though Anthony was my cousin, I'm afraid I didn't know him very well. Living half a country apart, I probably haven't seen him in, like, twenty years or so. From what I have heard over the years from my aunts though, I know that he was a good man, a good father and a good, wonderful son. My heart aches for his family and friends. I wish I could have known him better, but even now, I feel his loss. He is truly riding with the angels now. My love to the family.

Bill Copeland

I have fond memories of my cousin Anthony from when we were kids. He was 2-3 years younger than me but we always enjoyed seeing him and his older sisters Becky & Robin & his little brother Dan. I also love his Mom & actually stayed at her house in San Diego & Jan Jose for a couple of visits. Although I haven't had contact with him for many years, I had heard great things about him and was proud of him for taking care of his mother. Anthony will be missed. My heart goes out to his parents & his brother & sisters.

I met Anthony when he was a cute 5 year old blonde headed boy. His family lived 4 houses down. He and Danny played with my brother and I remember building snow forts with them and climbing a tree house. I hadn't seen Anthony in several years but always kept up through Becky. I got to visit with him this past summer when his mom was in the hospital. I am glad for the visit. This is truly a sad sad tragedy. Our hearts share your sadness.

As a good friend of his mother, I heard many stories about Anthony. The first time I met him was when Jane and Dennis were moving from San Jose to Santa Cruz in September 2004 when we were both part of the moving crew. I truly admire his willingness to help his mother out in many ways and especially his devotion in caring for Jane after Dennis died. May Anthony rest in peace!
