I saw Anthony and the rest of the Hickory Project play several times at a small Bluegrass festival in Ireland around 25 years ago now. Anthony was an astounding musician and an exceptionally nice man who chatted with those in attendance after their shows. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing, may he rest in peace.

Oh Anthony, I just got the news! I’m so saddened by your passing! I can’t believe how we reconnected after 30+ years. We met when we were 14/15 years old, through the bluegrass community in Pennsylvania. Such fond memories! I remember searching all over for a pink Izod shirt and making you a strawberry cake with lemon frosting for your 16th birthday. My first crush, my first kiss. You will forever hold a special place in my heart! Soar high my friend! ❤

I never met and did not know Anthony personally, but I'm grateful for his music and instructional videos, which were so helpful to me as I was learning to play the mandolin in my mid-20s and searching for educational resources on the instrument. Rest in peace to a generous soul, gifted musician and wonderful teacher.

I am so sorry for the loss of this great man. I loved whatever time I had with him and enjoyed his musical abilities. His personality was incredible, loving, and fun. He will certainly be missed by many.
