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

I just learned of some sad news. Anthony Stephenson, aka Anthony S. on the board has passed away (on Sept 30th). Anthony posted quite a bit on the board, and had a lot of interaction, and was always a well liked guy. All of my dealings and communications with him were very friendly and cordial. RIP Anthony, we'll miss your wit and sense of humor, among other things. Condolences to his family and other friends.

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!

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.

Robert

Oh man, this is terrible news.
It's funny how you can never meet a guy in person but still have a fine opinion of a guy, the way he handles himself and how decent he is.
Anthony is one of those.

I have been reading this board several times a day for a few years. It's tough to hear about a passing of our own. Especially good guys like Anthony.
Rest in peace, Brother!

I did not know Anthony, nor do I recall any interactions with him. But my sympathies go to his friends here on the forum, and his family. He was far too young.

Really awful news, especially for somebody so young. He had a terrific sense of humor; all of his posts were really funny and I always looked forward to them. I noticed he wasn't posting anymore and thought he just left the board. Very sad, he seemed like a really good person.

Incredibly sad indeed. The measure of a man is held within the fond memories of those he leaves behind. He will be missed.

I didn't know him personally nor do I recall any transactions. So I looked up some posts and instantly recognized his Avatar.

Prayers are said for his family.

Since his sense of humor is the thing people remember about him I found it appropriate that his last post was humorous:

In the thread How do you Display your Tobacco card collection?
