    this is my Papap/grandfather, and I just want to say that he is and always will be my hero. He was an amazing person and there are so many things that people don't know about him. examples, how loving he was to us grandchildren, how we each spent an entire month at their house when kids. I am going to miss my papap more then words can say, and anyone who knew him knew that he would give his shirt off his back to help anyone. I LOVE YOU PAPAP, ALWAYS AND FOREVER

    It was an honor to know Pappap for the short time that I did. It was easy to see what a loving father and grandfather he was. I really enjoyed talking to him about his life and wow, what a life he lived! Loved by so many. He will be greatly missed and never replaced by all those who loved him. Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

    I only had the pleasure of meeting this Gentleman once, But I am thankful for that one time. I spoke to him about different things and I could tell that he was a wealth of wisdom and knowledge but yet he was so very humble, funny, and a joy to speak with. WWII VET!! Wow! Amazing, and thank you!! I wish I could've got to know him more. To my Brother in-law Joe. I love you brother and I am so sorry for your families lost and thank you for allowing me the chance to meet your grandfather.

    I only met "Pap Pap", as his grandchildren call him, this past February, but from the stories I've heard and the week spend getting to know him, I found him to be an amazing person. The way he lived his life, raised his children and grandchildren alone are reflection of his achievements. From the moment I held this man's hand, I knew he was special. It's hard to find an individual of his caliber in a lifetime and I am happy to have met him, even if for a short time. Pap Pap will be greatly missed, but his family and all who have met him should be proud to have him in thier lives.

    My name is Karen Lynne Rossi I have had the honor of being the grandaughter of Pap pap Sharpe for 30 years. He truly was and is one of a kind and will never be forgotten by anyone who's life he touched. For me my heart is broken but also swollen with the love I will carry for eternity for the grandfather I can say was truly more than grand. He will stay my hero along with my grandma who on the 25th of nov will be his blushing bride for 68 years. Pap pap loved like there were no limits and lived with no regrets. Words can't describe the sadness from this loss. Pap pap I love you more than words can express!! Xoxoxoxo

    I use to work at Dr.Anwar's in MOundsville,WV in optical dept. Your father always stopped over to see me to say hi and I would clean and check his glasses. He was the sweetest man. I always looked forward to seeing him and talking with him about his large watch that someone gave him because he admired it. The last time I saw Anthony was almost 5 years ago when I quit to stay home to be a mom, and help my new husband with his business. I'll sure miss him, he was very special. I'm sorry for your loss.

    I want to 1st thank everyone for their kind words. I just wanted to add on a few more things about my pap pap! As my sister so perfectly put my heart is broken but it to is filled with such joyous memories that will be forever embedded in my mind and heart! He was and is known for being the sweetest, kindest, truest, and, loving pap pap's in the world. I hope as I grow older and he watches me from above he is proud of everything I do. Another memory for everyone when we were all little if we did something wrong he would call us over and say "do u want to feel my hand?" So over we would go and rub his hand and they were always so soft. Pap pap I will hold u in my heart always and although I am so sad right now I will do my best to remember he is in a better place looking down and smiling. To my grandma I love you so much. I hope that as I grow older I can always have your strength and please know you to are my hero I love you! Xoxoxoxo Annie

    I did not personally know pap pap, but I'm very close to his grandaughter Karen and from the stories she has told me, I know he was a great human being. He was a very loving and honorable man who anyone would be proud to just be in his presence. I am so sorry for everyones loss, but please remember he has lived a long and happy life and he is in a much more beautiful place now. I wish the best to this family.

    My deepest sympathy for the loss of Tony! My father and Tony bowled together for 20 plus yrs. They were on the same team but I think they competed against other. When my girls started bowling he always gave them pointers and hugs ! He will be missed
