A bit of belated sad news. RIP Anthony Stephenson, aka Anthony S. on our board

[gnaz01]

Very sad, so young........ We will miss him!!

[clydepepper]

The older I get, the more good people I see leave. I can't recall if I had any interaction with Anthony but, by everyone else's notes, I'm sure I would've enjoyed it.

This should be a reminder for all of us to thank our friends while we can and hug and kiss our loved ones every day. Life is fragile and is not to be wasted.

Thank you, my friends for allowing me to join this forum where we can discuss all things, but mostly all things Baseball.

You folks have enriched my life in the several months since I joined and I sincerely appreciate it.

So, here's a toast to Anthony - Long may you swing away, young man!

I had the pleasure of trading some 1910 obaks with Anthony in July of 2009.

My prayers go out to his family and friends.

I am so sorry to learn this. I did not know him well at all, but all our interactions were positive, and he was a really nice guy. Condolences to anyone who called him a friend, and to his family as well.

Was just looking at some old back and forth emails with Anthony. In early 2008, I posted on the board that I needed one more T206 (Hooker) for my set. Anthony emailed and said he was happy to send it to me free of charge. That was the first of many emails I received from Anthony. He was a very generous guy.

This is stunning and very sad news.

Anthony had great taste in cards and was very easy to transact with, but more importantly he was funny, intelligent, and his posts and emails were always fun to read. You could just tell that he truly enjoyed the hobby. He'll really be missed.

Rest in Peace Anthony.

Awful and sudden news. I worked with Tony many times over the years. Always a friendly guy and one I looked forward to hearing from. He and I had been working on the 09 Obaks set alongside each other the past couple years as well. My prayers and condolences to his family.

Even when I wasn't that interested in a topic but I spotted his dog icon I would read his post, as it was typically delightful, off-kilter and funny. Thanks for all the laughter Anthony...you made this board a better place.
