He will always be remembered for his strength and fortitude, and loved ones may now take comfort in knowing he is finally at rest without pain.

Those closest to Anthony may delight in knowing that he lived life more fully, passionately, courageously, benevolently, and consciously than most. Anthony's spirit lives on in the countless lives graced by his touch and in the indelible memories lovingly shared by those left behind.
