"I first had the pleasure of meeting Anthony when he was in kindergarten at Washington Elementary School with my daughter Samantha. He was such a cute little boy, with a huge smile! He had an easy going nature...very charming. We moved to Arizona after kindergarten and some time past. Anthony reconnected with my daughter and continued their friendship throughout the years. We would visit with him when we came back to NJ. My heart is filled with sadness with his loss. I will always remember his beautiful smile and his gift of conversation. I pray that he is at peace and resting in God?s gentle embrace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends he left behind. Anthony, you will be greatly missed. ????

In loving memory of
Anthony Jacob Pinell

Tributes
"Anthony was a great friend to many, over two decades ago me and my family moved on his block with his loving family welcoming us to their neighbor hood. I was privileged enough to grow up in a neighborhood with many great friends including Anthony, my dear friend you more than a friend you were family. Anthony asked me a long ago to look after his little brother for him at his lowest moments and that?s what made him such a genuine human he put others before himself. We will miss him very much and may he Rest In Peace."
