Oh Lisa, I’m so sorry that Anthony isn’t here with us. He-and you took special care of me in Hawaii, making sure I wasn’t alone and that I was important to you both. He was a sweet special friend. Praying for you and your family for peace, comfort, and grace. Love you.
Missing my precious son-in-law! He has a special place in my heart and gave us all many happy memories to comfort us. Thanks for the memories, Anthony! Rest in peace.

Even though I’m Anthonys uncle on his wife’s side of the family, I am only two years older than Anthony and he seemed more like a brother than a nephew. I have known Anthony for over 25 years, since my wife Jean and I were married. I would see Anthony and his family on average once a year, usually during Thanksgiving. Anthony was over 6 foot tall and always greeted you at the door with a big bear hug. He was a great guy, thoughtful to the nth degree! We spent endless hours discussing the latest software programming languages and of course politics! I will miss this kind man! My thoughts and prayers are with Lisa, Megan (Kyle), Ryan, Macy and Dianne during this difficult time.
Tony you were my special friend and my heart brother. I will miss you forever. Love, Antonio
We are so sorry for the loss of Anthony. We have known them since before he and Lisa met. May the Lord bless you all and keep you all comforted.
Robert, so sorry to hear about Anthony. It is always hard to loose a family member. You are in our thoughts & prayers! This type of loss is not something you get over but…something you get thru. May his soul rest in perfect peace. Love Charlotte Biddy , Libby Layfield and Marvin Downes and our families.
Farewell, for now, my brother. I know where you are and I have hope we will meet again. May the Lord rain blessings on your family.
Very sorry to hear that Anthony is no longer with us. Our family was on that same wonderful ski trip where he and Lisa met and shared many happy memories since. It was always a pleasure to be around Anthony, and his bear hug greetings were legendary! Blessings and peace to Lisa and family.
So sad…Anthony was a special man.
Prayers of comfort for Lisa and family…
