    Our brother Anthony will be missed at the archery club. Every time I would see him he would call me by my Army rank and ask if I had been promoted yet. Hearing his stories of years past hunting with fellow members are cherished memories; although we will always question the accuracy of some stories :). Anthony will be dearly missed; until we meet again my dear friend! We love you brother

    He was a friend to everyone he met always laughing cutting up. I remember when he became an attorney for MTE I ask him how did you get that you have to be serious to be an attorney. He was fun to be with I remember when we were all hunting on the river west Tennessee everybody was seeing deer but him. Sam said he would watch deer walk around him we thought he couldn’t be still then found out he was wearing after shave lotion when he was in the TREE. I’ve never forgot that story. WHAT A Character God Bless HIM

    I worked with Anthony at MTE and my oldest son Jody was in his wedding . He was one of a kind , always so fun to be around. He loved to aggravate me lots of days I would open my desk drawer to find one of his spit bottles he had planted there for me to find. On other days he would close the old vault door on me when I went in there to get something. He was a true joy to be around and a friend you would always remember. I pray Gods gives all of you peace and comfort during this difficult time. May you rest in peace my dear friend Anthony ❤️
