The family would like to thank Dr. Raleigh Kent, many caregivers and Hospice for compassionate care in Anthony's final days.

Due to Covid, the family held funeral services privately at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Birmingham and burial followed at Elmwood Cemetery.

Services are under the direction of Ridout's Valley Chapel in Homewood.
