Anthony, you were literally my very first friend just a month older than me. I have beautiful pictures of our mother´s strolling us at the zoo. I´m sorry I wasn´t keeping in touch as much as I should have. My prayers are with your family. You´re beautiful mother and father your sister, Tammy, and your brother.

I'm beyond heartbroken. I've been friends with Anthony for many years. We met on Facebook. We had many phone conversations, lots of laughs. Sometimes when Anthony had some free time at the hospital, he would call me, and I also worked at a hospital so we used to talk about things. Anthony was the most beautiful person with a heart of gold, and a pure soul. He will be missed by everyone forever. My deepest condolences to all of Anthony's family, and friends. It was a tragic loss. Gone too soon. Rest in Heavenly peace my beautiful friend. One day we'll meet again. You'll forever live in my heart.

I knew Anthony when I was a child, he was a close friend of my mother, and even though many years passed, his impact on my life never faded. He was one of the first adults I knew who truly enjoyed life-its food, its beauty, its humor, and its adventure. From Chinatown outings to movies, nature walks, and even a wonderfully fancy dinner with shrimp and warm butter, he made the world feel larger, kinder, and more joyful.
His warmth, generosity, and unapologetic spirit helped shape who I became, including my lifelong love of dining and my complete intolerance for cruelty or small-mindedness. I wish I could have told him how much he meant to me, but I carry his influence with gratitude every day. Anthony mattered deeply, and he always will.

Anthony was one of those rare people who could make you feel like a friend when just meeting you. My years of friendship showed me he was a man of true character and kindness. He now rest in angels arms, though him he left us so suddenly. He cared for his family, friends, and loved animals. He is truly missed.

He never missed a birthday or holiday. He was the kindest man I knew. Your loss will be felt forever in my heart. Soar high my beautiful friend and thank you for blessing all of us with your love.

Anthony was truly an Angel. I have never meant anyone as kind as him, and I probably never will. He always took time from his busy schedule to make others feel special, especially on their birthday. Mine is December 7th and I heard from him with his usual kind words and wishes for good health and happiness before his untimely departure.
I will never forget you my friend and I will always remember to show others kindness in your memory.
I will always love, and miss you until I see you on the other side
