So many hugs to all of you. He will be missed by everyone. "

"This is a huge loss for our family. My continued prayers will be with you Carlos, Linda, Blake and Kristin. One of the many memories I will always cherish is when Antonio would play aggravation with his Grandma Harstad. She would do the counting in the Finnish language. Antonio would laugh so hard and have so much fun with this. "
