    I met Anthony in high school and we hung out in the same group of friends. Anthony was the nicest, sweetest, funny, most talented kindred spirits I've ever had the opportunity to know. He never had anything but kind words and his generous spirit to offer those of us who were lucky to be one of his friends! I loved to watch and listen to his music, playing in his band and would be there dancing at his shows to support his amazing talent! He will be truly missed! Prayers and condolences to his beautiful family.
