As a kid I knew I had the coolest uncle anyone could have, not only was he loving and kind as any uncle should be; he was funny and smart and so Godly talented.  He had the coolest pets too, I remember going to his house as a child and he had a tree or plant of some kind with a chameleon on it and a snake or two. Another time he had his entire apartment ceiling full of philodendron (vine like plants that do well inside). Then he met Cheri, the love of his life; and it was like watching fireworks go off between them. Up until that point he was the star of the room and I honestly didn't think anyone could keep up with him or match his talents. But when I met Cheri, I knew she was the one for him. They made each other so happy and brought out the best of each other. I got the pleasure of being the flower girl at the wedding and spending time at the apartment that had the most amazing rain forest painting in it. Needless to say he will be missed by many here on earth. It is comforting to know we shall see him again and that he watches over each of us. 

To my beautiful cousin- words cannot express how much I will miss you. Although we were miles apart, you were always my favorite and we were always close.  You were the one who paid attention to me when I was a kid (while all the others teased me,lol). As I got older, we would hang out. As adults, although we didn't see each other, we did talk on the phone. These are memories I will treasure for a lifetime.  

To My Oldest Cousin - if life is about a great smile, having a good time, laughing and loving you lived a life that was the standard by which others should be measured. I loved traveling to Las Vegas and having the chance to see and spend time with you and Cheri. I enjoyed going out with you both, you were always a lot of fun and I admired how happy you were with the love of your life at your side. You reminded me a lot of my Dad, just a beautiful person who was always so nice, so happy, and so genuine. In addition, you were an extremely talented artist. I feel very fortunate to have seen your smile in the 200 photos that have been posted. I am going to miss you cousin, for that matter we are all going to miss you very, very much! 
Love Peter Farmakis 

Tim and I send our deepest condolences to Cheri and the rest of Anthony's friends and family. 
Nobody was a stranger to him. He made every gathering and event fun. We loved talking about Chicago (we're from Wheeling) and of course the Cubs and Bears. 
We had so much fun this summer when we enjoyed the pool and the sausage he made. Lots of laughs.  We'll never forget how funny he was this past Halloween. We was a wizard at our VEaM shows and a couple thought he was Jesus. In true Anthony fashion he went into his roll play.....complete with  an accent. Hahah. We are blessed to have known him and to have called him a friend. May he rest in eternal peace. He will be greatly missed.  Say hi to Earnie, Harry, Ron, and all the other greats! -Lynn and Tim 

Dear Cheri, Laurie, Harry and Family,
Our hearts are so sadden for all of you
On the loss of Anthony.  No words can 
Take away your pain , our thoughts and 
Prayers are for Anthony and all of you.
We will never forget all our incredible 
Times we spent together in Chicago
And our visits to Vegas. Love Bob, Mary Ann and the DeNardis Family

Cheri, Laurie, Russ, Harry, and Mark, love you all so much, my heart to yours at this tender time. I will never forget Anthony’s beautiful art that will live on in our hearts as he will. Love, Margo Madonna 

To Cheri, Anthony's beautiful wife.  My heart breaks for you each and every day.  You were both so in love with each other and with life.  You will forever have beautiful memories to hold on to.   I know it will be difficult for you not to have him at your side, but hold on to the love you once shared that you may be able to honor him and his beautiful ways and all the beauty he contributed to this world over the years.  Find strength and hold on till you meet again.  He will be waiting with open arms, sweetheart.  Love, Judy Terracina, Laurie Ann's cousin. 

Dear Cheri & family,

Chuck and I were delighted we got to meet you at Bob & Bobbie Anniversary party.   We learned of both your artist talents. 
Laurie had shown me some of Anthony’’s stain glass at a casino on the south side.  Anthony did beautiful work.
We are sorry for your lost & hope the many memories you shared with Anthony will help you each & every day.  
Love & Prayers, 
Chuck & Carole

I remember a sweet and loving young boy and man. He always
had a smile on his face and a good word. He will be missed
Our Love to Cherie and Laurie, Russ, Mark, and Harry.
You are all in my prayers. God Bless Vicki and Larry Lemon

Sending so much love, peace, and light to wrap you in this time of sorrow. Anthony excelled at living, loving, and creating. I will never forget his early, brilliant talents, and his love for lizards and snakes, and our time growing up together as cousins always up to something. And that infectious smile. <3 


Cheri, you lost the love of your life, your husband and life long partner. I lost the love of my life, my son Anthony. We both know all his qualities and love of beauty, art, cooking, fishing, music, people, nature, and God. I am so proud of him and will miss him every second of my life. 
God be with you, my daughter, and keep you wrapped in His love.

Mom

I was fortunate enough to meet Tony just once but he was the type of person that you only ever needed to meet one time to know that he was one of the good ones. I'm so sorry to his family for their loss. I know he will be missed by them and everyone else who knew him.
