The World Needs More People Like Anthony

I will always remember my father's positive outlook on life and his generous nature. He was one who believed in the power of an upbeat attitude and was fond of saying "as long as the sun is shining you have nothing to complain about."

Anthony's tips for living a good, long life; 1) mind your own business; 2) smile; and 3) keep your fingers crossed.
 
I will take his positive attitude with me in all I do. He will be missed.
