Anthony Passed Away

Recommended Posts

Tasmith,

 

I know he did get the program by Mr. Sull and had started working on it, but tbh, I'm not sure what became of them. I would like to think they were kept in his pen room and ended up with one of his nieces, but I cannot say for sure.

 

 

Max Dog, I am sorry to hear about your mom, but I do know that Anthony was a great comforter. He really loved people and was able to relate with them on many different levels, plus his own life tragedies, (the loss of his wife and kids; the loss of his father and then getting hit by Hurricane Sandy the following year. Not to mention what he went through with his mother last year), made it easier for him to relate to other people's sufferings. It really is amazing to me how he managed to always stay so upbeat and positive.

 

Thank for posting that video link; with the exception of her vivid blue eyes and slightly lighter hair color, the resemblance of that girl in the picture to Anthony's Kelly is positively spooky.

 

But unlike the tragic message of the song, their marriage was definitely made in Heaven... and I hope they have been reunited forever. :-)

 

Linda.

So, all of the heartfelt and cogent responses I've read here, (and showed to Anthony's family), are a real credit to this forum. :-)

 

 

And even more so to Anthony.

So very true, Cassotto.

 

 

Dear FPN Community,

 

God bless you all. Your posts here and elsewhere have been a great comfort to me and his family. :-)

 

 

I will bid farewell to you by quoting our absent friend:

 

Be well and enjoy life. God bless. :-)

 

Sincerely,

 

Linda L.

I would like to thank you for letting us know of the news.

 

I would also like to give my condolences to Mr. Anthony's family.

 

I know that us humans aren't perfect, but I only have good things to say about Anthony.

 

I cannot go into details here: but there was a time when I expressed a little bit of sadness on FPN, and Mr. Anthony knew EXACTLY what was bugging me and sent me reassuring PMs.

 

How do you do that?

 

Is it something spiritual, dare I say?

 

He was a good man, and I am very happy that many of us were able to know him, and that you, (Linda), was able to work with such a wonderful man.

 

(Dat's 'bout all I gotta say.)

Thank you, Linda, for taking your time to bring some closure to the community that has grown attached to Anthony as its prominent member. All the best to you in your future endeavors. If you ever feel like you're interested in some retro-writing (or drawing!) fun, please do join the forum yourself!

Bit late to this but the news of Anthony's passing has both shocked and saddened me in equal measure. His pm's to me at a time when i needed them will never be deleted or forgotten.

 

So much more to say but aready been said by many other members on here.

I am stunned and lost for words :o :crybaby: I only knew him from the forum but he seemed a great guy, what a terrible loss. I can only send my warm heartfelt prayers, condoleances and thoughts to his family and friends.
