December 28, 2017 at 11:16 amMy family’s thoughts and prayers are with you, Tim and family. Anthony and I became good friends over the last couple of years. He was a joy especially sharing his music, playing the guitar, singing some songs… He was real good, and a real music proficienado. He most recently shared some vacation pictures of you and him ‘down South’. Anthony touched our lives and made us smile. He truly was a blessing.

December 28, 2017 at 8:37 pmThis is not the news I expected to wake up to this morning. My thoughts are with his family, especially Tim. No father should never out live their child, let alone two. I am at a total loss for words. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to all that knew him. He has a way of making a permanent impact on all the lives he touched.
