If you ever met Poodie, you had a friend to the end. He loved his family and friends. One of the things Anthony loved to do more than anything was singing and dancing. He really thought he could dance and wasn't doing a thing! He was the most loving person, Friendly, would give the shirt off his back to anyone he ever met. He always loved to see everyone smile, and everybody was Cuzz!! One of the many things the family will miss is when he told a story, and when he crossed his legs, he was getting ready to say to you one, and everyone knew it and would walk away!!
He leaves to cherish his wife Angela Hurdle, children Antana Hurdle, stepchildren Aleeza Starks (Andre), and Derrica Barbee. His Mother, Lessie T. Hurdle, sisters Michelle Daye, Yvette T. Slade (Donald). Brother Lester Slade.
