So sorry to hear of this untimely loss. I extend my sincerest sympathies to you and your family. I am a friend of John’s from Altamonte Springs, FL
I am deeply crushed to hear of this un expected tragedy. Anthony was a fantastic person. He had a great smile and it was contagious, just like all Excell’s. My heart goes out to the whole family. I don’t have the words to express this properly. I am so sorry.
