Anthony, aka The Hop, aka Holmes, is also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and countless friends, and will be missed dearly. We love you, daddy, pops, grandpa, tata.  

Anthony adored his family and dedicated his life to them, and to sports. At any given moment, you could find him on somebody’s couch watching either the Dodgers, Lakers, Rams or Lobos, or at the track betting on a horse race.  

He was the smartest man around.
