Dear Stoltzfus family,
I am so sorry to read about Anthony’s passing. Since 2012, I was a customer at his Leola shop, and was so impressed by his mechanical skills. I don’t think many others could have kept my 30 year old machine on the road. When I learned of his illness in the summer, I wanted you to know that I prayed for him every day. I will surely miss seeing such a talented fellow enthusiast.
