I could not stop crying when I saw this. You and I were so close in high school and we helped each other through some very difficult times. I have been wanting to look you up for years and when I finally do you are gone. Gone. I can't believe you left without me having to say goodbye. I can't believe I never reached out, never found you on facebook, never shared in your amazing life as I see it now. How on earth will I ever be able to go on knowing I procrastinated on the very thing which would have given me solace in the times in which I live now. I remember our SCUBA dives, our times on the lake in your dad's boat, the times at the mortuaary, the times we worried together over being drafted for Vietnam. I can't bear to look at much more about your life in this time of sorrow and what I missed out on. God why did you have to leave right now, I thought I had more time to get back in touch, to connect, to review history, to possibly get some help with my life. Anthony I got my pilots license and I have 185 hours. I remember you taking me above McCoy airport keeping the plane with just enough power and pitch for me to see Orlando Florida. I was more interested in your skill at the time-- something I am very proud of myself now. Anthony, how did this happen? I didn't have the heart to look further. Now, I suppose you will be in my heart more than ever than it was when I was so neglectful, so forgetful of history, so taking things for granted that we would talk again soon. I suppose now I have the courage to pass from this world without complaints or regrets. I love you Tony, I am going to miss you just like I missed the chance to say hello only 5 short months agon.

Tony, you were first a customer at the restaurant where I worked, then my employer for many, many years but always and forever my friend. I will cherish my memories and miss you forever. Rest peacefully in the Lord's arms.

Taken way too soon, Tony will be missed by many!!  So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to the Narushka Family.

You were always smiling, open and willing to help, you had something what attracted people to You. They loved You and liked you. All of that together made Your life to be filled with happiness and joy, which You were sharing with others.
You fell asleep in eternal sleep, quietly gone, like the one who does not want to grieve with his leaving .
You have been in our lives, you are in our hearts and You will always remain in our memory.

So sorry Tony & Alec, to hear of Anthony's passing. Wish we had met and gotten to know Anthony as well as you guys. I am sure he was just as fine a man as you both are.
