He was preceded in death by brother, D. Wayne Anthony and parents, George and Geneva Anthony.

Working for the past 35 years for Vesco Toyota Forklift, this was his family as well. So many friends were like family to him.

Always ready for a fishing pole in hand, to watch a race, football game, baseball game or riding his bike, he loved being outdoors and having his music cranked up. Never taking anything for granted as he knew how fortunate he was and mentioned it often. He created an environment of making you smile just looking at those manicured bushes and lawn, and rolling those eyes when mention of these particulars to him it became a longstanding joke to harass him if a leaf was out of place. When his wife could mow the lawn and help with trimming with bragging rights, it also caused a laugh with friends. A good laugh and "that a boy" was a treasure.

Always available to listen, laugh, and talk when a friend called.
