I´m Anthony Amicone I went to West Elementary and Volney Rodgers jr high with Anthony I don´t remember what grade we were in maybe 4th or 5th but he and I had been playing a game where we would run at each other and try to push the other down kinda of a king of the hill type game, but we stopped because one day we were playing and he fell hard hit his head off the wall and both our parents were called we both got in trouble, but I believe that´s when they found out he had diabetes, Anthony was always character happy upbeat, could never really stay in seat at school always introduced himself to our new teacher ls as Anthony Dial like the soap lol, I´m very sorry for your loss Anthony was a good friend of mine in school.

Anthony was our grandson and nephew, and always liked to come to Ohio to visit us & his uncles & family. He was kind hearted & respected by his elders. We would take him to the dance with us & most of the people were the older generation. He could talk to them & make friends same as the younger people. They said he was a well mannered young man.
He liked to go in the woods & scout around, he was a nature loving person. He always liked to play with the small kittens. He was a great person for the video games & music.
Anthony may be gone but he will never be forgotten! He will be in our hearts forever.
Grandma & Grandpa Austin
Uncles, Chester & Jack Dial

To the friends and family of Tony,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of this great person. I sat next to Tony in Oceanology every day last year. I soon made friends with him and would talk to him about different rock bands, our airsoft guns, different movies, and lots of fun things. I remember he would always bring in 2 Diet sodas to Oceanology and give one to me. Tony was always nice to me, and would always try hard to make sure I was doing ok. It was always fun to get to see him in class, at some of the drama productions he would invite me to, In Japanese club, and always around the neighborhood waving the ad sign for little ceasar's or riding his scooter around or lifegaurding at the racquet club. I always admired Tony as an independent spirit who was always willing to work hard, and to stop just to be friendly to me. He was some one who has made a very positive impact on my life and some one I will truly miss. It's terrible to see him go. My sincere condolences go out to his family, I'm so sorry I was not able to make it to the funeral to pay my respects. To Tony, God speed brother, until we meet again.

Dear Dial Family,

I was an aide at Mitchell and had the pleasure of knowing Tony. He was so serious and intense and, yet, so charming and funny. He always made me laugh. That is so precious to me.

Luckily, I attended the performance at Mitchell where Tony performed Alexander's Ragtime Band. He was so vibrant. I had a chance to talk to him afterwards where he was quite proud of himself. That will be my best memory.

My sincere condolences to all those who loved and appreciated Tony.

Anthony has the best friends a person could ask for and all of you have been good friends to us as well through this time of grief.
Once again, we would like to express our appreciation for everything that you all have done or are doing.
Tony

I am so sorry for your loss. Tony was a great humane being that will forever be in our hearts. Though he was only with us for a short 18 years, he will live in our hearts forever. I struggled with his passing as others did as I saw him everyday with so much life. His life and kindness will stay with us forever. Though he is not here with us in body, he will be eternally with us forever in our hearts. My love goes out to his mother and father and I thank both of them for letting them come into my life. I will never forget him and he will continue to teach those that come after him.
