I knew Anthony as a member of our basketball team at St Athanasius. He was tough as nails on the court and a fierce competitor. I saw him last in 1972 and I remember what a wonderful brother he was to his family. I was very saddened to hear of his passing but to be remembered is a testimony to his memory and legacy.
