To Anthony's family,
Anthony was my classmate for many years - elementary, intermediate, junior high, and through all of high school. We shared many memories and I recall he was always a genius when it came to math and science. Over the years he became a dear friend, and I was always amazed at the various ingenious projects he would be working on outside of class.
He inspired me often. I particularly remember how he would expertly program his TI-84 calculator with shortcuts that made physics and calculus tests a joke-he'd always be one of the first to finish while I was grinding away manually writing each step.
To hear this news was devastating, and I send my sincerest condolence to your family. It was my pleasure to know him. He contributed to the lives of many, especially mine, and these positive memories of him will live on indefinitely.
