Five reader comments about Anthony Simiele
Anthony was a friend that was always willing to give to anyone that needed a hand and did it always, with a smile. He was a believer of Jesus Christ and showed this through his works when he would step in to assist anyone when the day got to long or tiring for them. You could always rely on Anthony to create a great conversation while enjoying a good meal, which was one of his favorite pastimes. He was my co-worker for several years, my friend, and most important my brother in Christ. I will miss you now but will see you again in heaven.
Sincerely, John D. Johnson

Anthony always came to work every day with a smile. To him...Every day was a beautiful day ~ Memories of him consist of smiles and Starbucks Coffee... He sure loved brewing his Starbucks Coffee early in the morning or prior to leaving his shift. This was a very hard working and dedicated person who was dependable and always was willing to lend a hand. You will remain very close and dear to all of us.

I can't believe he is gone. I will cherish all the wonderful times we spent together playing basketball, working out, and talking about life. He was like an older brother to me, full of wisdom and uplifting words. I will always remember him for his generous spirit, cowboy demeanor, and dedication to his genius daughter. He was never a boastful man, but when it came to his daughter, he was always so proud. May you rest in peace, my brother.
