Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with us... It is so easy to get caught up in this material world and become selfish... your story reminds us how important it is to value the things and people that are really and truly dear and important to us. Well done!

Anthony, you are a dead set legend. Although his kids now have a high benchmark to beat for his 80th......

God bless you and your families and friends!

That's probably the nicest thing anyone has done for him in the 76 years of him being alive. You will hood a very special place in his heart.
