Very sad to hear of Anthony’s passing. We hung out quite a bit in high school. Anthony even attended my wedding. We lost connection as I moved to Denver. But shears remember the times we had as youths. Condolences to the family.
Anthony I will always remember you as a gentle soul. You were always so considerate and kind. I will miss your smile and your address me “well hi Mrs. Duran ” when we saw each other at the Post Office. RIP my friend.
Will miss you,Anthony. God bless you and family.
Anthony I will miss you my friend. Always a smile and a hug for friends. We were friends since we were children all through school and beyond. Have fun fishing and hunting in heaven where I know we will see each other again. Until then enjoy. I will miss you.
My heart goes out to Vince family. Carol i am so sorry for your loss. I sure do miss you
I have been so heartbroken since hearing of your death. Anthony (Twinkle toes) and I were friends throughout elementary, middle and high school. Oh, the crazy things we would do. the last time I seen Anthony we reminisced about our teen age years and laughed and laughed. I will miss you my longtime friend and I pray that you are at peace and flying high. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to your mom and sisters.
