April 17, 2026 at 8:10 pmI am Anthony’s cousin. We were born 48 days apart, and after a couple of years, our parents and relatives knew there was trouble brewing. We saw each other mostly on weekends and at the family’s parties. Together we had adventure, fun, and good times. I learned a lot about life from being with him, as anyone who knows him can imagine. Anthony will always be in my heart and remembered.
