Anthony has been one of my closest friends since I was 14 years old. Myself, Ant, Viola, Nicky and the rest of us would act stupid and get into trouble as most teenagers do. One of my favorite memories of Anthony is a time that we went down the shore, we where walking on the boardwalk and Ant kept on pointing at the ground as people where walking by. They would jump or move out of th way and look all around for whatever he was pointing at. There was nothing there, but for some reason to us it was the funniest thing. The reason why that is my favorite memory of Anthony is because it is such a great example of how his personality, could make everyone around him laugh and smile. No matter what happend before as soon as you saw that ear to ear grin, and heard him start to joke you couldn't help but laugh. I was so proud of Anthony when he went to Oklahoma, because he was the only person I ever met who actually tried to become a better person, and all though at the time I didn't appreciate it, when he would talk about god he did it not to hear himself speak but because he wanted others to become better people as well. I know nothing will ever fill the void his passing leaves but perhaps there can be some solace in the fact that Anthony's life inspired many people to become better human beings, myself included. I feel privileged to have called Anthony my friend, I loved him like a brother and his mark he left on me will be with me for the rest of my life.
