Cano,
I miss your crazy behind! I havent laughed the way we laughed together since you were here and that makes me sad every day. Laughter is good for the soul and I need you to do that on a daily.
I hope you know how much you are missed and I will love you always.

Words can't express the pain I feel right now..... just now finding out about you. I love you and miss you terribly and would give anything to have my friend back. We had so many fun times together, too many to count. I remember the first day I met you and the very last time we spoke this summer. I remember when you got your pretty red Z and I got my blue convertible mustang....we thought we were the shiz! The warped tour, the music we used to introduce to each other (more you ) and the nick names you always came up with. You made me laugh, you made me cry with laughter and cry when I missed you. You were and always will be my antny! People come and go in life, you my dear will be in my heart forever and always

Thank you for your friendship. Although we never met, it was always great receiving your emails, taking a few minutes away from our busy day to talk about work, family and friends. I will always remember the gift of friendship you gave me. I miss hearing from you.

Anthony recently shared one of his favorite quotes with me:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Anthony was the man in the arena...he is greatly loved and missed.

Miss you Antny! Sarah is still heartbroken. She needs you. Let her know in her heart that you're ok. I know you are. You will remain part of our family always.

Anthony,
You will be missed terribly at JRI! Kevin and I are shocked to hear the news of your passing.
I know you planned to visit us in Needham, MA. during your vacation earlier this summer while visiting Sarah's family in NH.
That nasty CES file did create such a problem for you and I however, you always remained calm through the months of servicing JRI. Will miss that deep voice of yours...

Oh Babe....I can't believe you are gone. I wake up every morning thinking It's just a dream.
What I wouldn't give for one more of our long talks or to hear you laugh when I say something silly. I miss you more than words.
I love you beyond the farthest stars.

Anthony, it can't be real. You were such a "good" part of my day. I'll never forget when we tried to teach India something we didn't even know ourselves. You are such a wonderful person. It just won't be the same with one less "peep.' I will miss you always.

Anthony - It is hard to believe that you are not on the otherside of the cubical wall we shared. Your mellow demeanor and personality are missed. Miss you brother. Until we meet again.

Cano, I'm so sad. We always talked about how so few boys knew how to dress. Now the problem is worse. :). I always thought I'd bump into you at some point and catch up. I loved your smile, I loved hearing about how much you loved your car so much so that I bought one, and I loved hearing about how happy you were with Sarah. I was unable to help honor and celebrate your life on Saturday but I was definitely there in spirit. I will miss you my friend.

The office just isn't the same without you here Cano! You made us all laugh on a daily basis and gave us new reasons to put phrases "on the board". Thank you for correcting me when I pronounced a word wrong, or said something "un-grammatically correct"... I will miss that! I will miss you! Love you long time and may you rest in peace!

I remember joking with you about the fact that you always carried a notepad. It seemed like you were always taking care of very important business. LOL!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face even though you didn't always know it.

Cano- it still doesn't seem completely real. You are loved and missed by many. You always were funny and knew how to make others laugh. Thank you for including me on your kickball teams. .. And for the after game drink- diet coke! I miss you a lot my friend - the row is just not the same. Rest in peace Anthony!

I will miss the late night texting conversations!! You always helped me laugh and feel better. I will always be thinking about you and miss you so so much. I will keep my sister safe until you can be with her again!

Antherny, Poofers, Mitch, Abomination, the list goes on. My best friend. I have no words. I can't even count how many times I've sat in silence in the last 6 days and said "It's okay, it's not real." This is the weirdest thing.
Monkey Cano, I could fill the entire internet with memories. All I really need to say though is thank the good Lord we were ridiculous enough to "Record Us" so now I never have to go a day without hearing your voice if I don't want to. I just listened to track "jhh" and literally was crying (with laughter, finally) over "Chocolate milk. CHOCOLATE MILK!" Through our CDs we made (you autographed mine!), the books of emails, and hundreds of photos, I could NEVER forget you even if I tried. You were such a part of me though, that every one of those things could burn and I would still never forget a single part of who we were. Say hi to Sophie & Zoey Anderson. Tell the aliens from signs that I can kick them higher than you can kick me. Stay away from small turtles. (or...don't). Also unsedated wombats. Tell them to go around AGAIN. For the record, I give this entire situation an F.
Last, if you come back, make sure you bring t-shirts for everyone.
I love you so much!!

Cano,
Never a dull moment when you were around. I dont know if it was the ordaining of Goldstein, The mystical powers of Vishnu Vardhan Yadla or The shallot wielding loituma that made those days fly by. (Btw Arun Babu says cute pic...)You were a great dude and will be missed. Your sense of humor is unmatchable. I will certainly miss the shenanigans you and I used to get into regarding our favority Gypsy Goldstein. I will also never forget how you completely lost control every time you dropped an "Attack" The memories I will hold on to are second to none. I know that you are in a better place and await the day when we meet again...
Its 430 AM do you know where your heads at??? Peace Cano...JZ

Your smile, your humor, your kindness, your green picnic table shirt, your constant replaying of the "oh Don Piano cat' are memories now. Now the cat makes me cry. You made so many people smile Cano. I wish I could hear you just yell "Bye Uhlaine" just one more time. "oh my dog, oh long john, oh long johnson, oh don piano ,why i eyes ya, all the live long day" Byeeeee Cano!

One of his best qualities was that although he could be an awful tease, he also had a way about him that made people feel like he cared and that when you had a conversation with him he was really present and made you feel important. It's why we all felt so close to him.

Anthony was a friend to everyone. Through all of my years working with him at ADP, I don't think I ever saw him angry or cross. He brought joy and laughter to those around him. I am saddened to see that he has left this earthy existence and hope that his family can find peace in this difficult time. He will truly be missed.
September 14, 2012
Anthony, I didn't get to know you as well as some others. But do remember most your sense of humor, HILARIOUS! Wish I could have joined you on your kick ball team.
You will be missed and are by many.
I pray for Sarah and know you are by her side always, and pray for your family at this tragic loss.

Oh Cano,
Me likey long time.
I will miss your sense of humor and the way you could light up my day. It didn't matter the situation, you always came through for me when I was having a bad day. The impression of Tunson that one day had me rolling on the floor. Miss you big time...

Antony, you will be truly missed. The "family" will never be the same. You always brought laughter to all around you. I will miss hearing your laugh, and I will really miss you saying "Me Likey" and your other signature catch phrases.
Thank you for all the joy and laughter over the years!

You are already so missed by everyone. Honestly, you were the funniest person I have ever met...(except Mareesa of course) LOL.
