My fondest memory was when I first met him. I was about 11 years old. I am one of his biological children. My biological mother’s name, at the time, was Charlotte Lorraine Orta Cambra. She and my father, Anthony, had divorced. I was their last child together. I was placed in foster care from the age of 2 months old until I graduated from high school. My social worker offered me the chance to meet my father and my siblings when I was 11. My father welcomed me with kind & gentle arms. I was thrilled to meet my brothers Anthony & Timothy. Sadly, I wasn’t able to meet any of my sisters that day. That was the last time I saw my father.
I’ve been able to keep informed, with the advent of the internet, on how my biological family is doing. I was sad to hear that his wife Bessie had passed. Sad again to hear that my father had passed. I’ll always remember him for his kindness toward me, that day, many years ago.
May he rest in gentle, beautiful peace.

I had the pleasure of knowing my grandpa all my life—and what a blessing that has been. So many cherished memories flood my heart when I think of him. He was a stubborn old man, no doubt about it, and oh how he’d mumble under his breath every time grandma said something he didn’t like. That mumble—half annoyance, half love—became one of those things we’d all laugh about, imitating him every chance we got. It was just so him, and somehow, it made us love him even more.One of my favorite memories is the times he and grandma would take me and my sisters to Sizzler with Aunty Val—his cousin,That place became our special spot, not just for the food, but for the laughs, the stories, and the time we all shared together. It’s funny how a simple dinner spot can hold so much love.And oh, could Grandpa cook! His Spanish rice—mayjah ono!—especially when he and Grandma teamed up in the kitchen, was something else. The smell would fill the house and pull us all to the table. Those flavors, like his love, will never be forgotten.Even now, when we talk about him, we still catch ourselves doing his famous mumble, playfully teasing like he used to. Just like with Grandma, it’s those little quirks and memories that keep him close.Grandpa, I love you. You’ll forever be in our hearts, living on in our laughter, our stories, and every bite of that delicious rice we try to recreate. Thank you for the memories.
Sending my Condolences to the family. Some may not know me but I've been apart of the family now for 12 Years as I am his Grandson Christopher's partner. I have gotten the privilege to meet Grandpa Anthony last year for the first time along with uncle Thomas, we sat for a while listening to stories and shared wisdom through Grandpa. It was wonderful hearing about the side of the family we don't know much about. though our time was short he was so warm and welcoming, We will miss you Grandpa.
Now, I know I'm fairly "new" to the family. I lost contact for so many years. But I had the honor and privilege of meeting my grandfather for the first time in 35 years 2 January's back. He gave me a gift of a picture of him and my late gma. It may not seem like much. But to me, it's almost as priceless as meeting him one time and getting to have only one conversation in my life. And those moments are the real precious gems of life. These are the things that should be cherished. Love you gpa and ty
