Nadia, I would like to send Condolences to you and family's behalf of Antonios. I was saddened to see this and if had seen sooner, I would have made arrangement to be at the service. I enjoyed Antonio's as my client at the Willow Oaks Offfice at SunTrust. He always made me feel that he received the best service when he would come to my desk. I do have the Family in prayer, but like to encourage you to know that his smile will be with each of you to carry on your journey. Again you are in my prayers.

To the family of Mr. Antonios, my deepest and most sincere condolences go out to you all. I met Mr. Antonios through his daughter. Mr. Antonios was a most caring and giving man who was a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. I feel very privileged and I'm very honored to say I met such a man.
