Oh! How fond are my memories of Anthony, it was so sad to learn of his demise. I guess Anthony will be remembered for the small things which so vividly characterized his life: his sense of humor, unassuming personality, his willingness to give and share, and his sense of family.

God Bless you, and the rest of the family.

I was very sad to read about Anthony's passing. Although I went to high school with him, I mostly remember him from the ball fields of North Charleston when he coached little league. I pray that you will find comfort in having him in this world for so long, although it was not long enough ... and may the heaven's rejoice at his arrival !

I saw Anthony Canty occasionally since I worked with his wife, Theta. He was always smiling and had a warm sense of humor. I know he was greatly loved by his wife and family. My heart goes out to my dear friend, Theta Canty, for the loss of her life partner. I pray God's peace will comfort and sustain her and her family during this time of grief and sorrow.
