მარადიული მისი ხსოვნა. ბატონი ანტონის ხსენებას ყოველთვის პატივისცემით ვიხსენებდი, როცა კვიპროსიდან სტუმრობდა ჩვენს ეკლესიაში. ოჯახსა და მრევლს გამძლეობა მინდა ვუსურვო.

მარადიული ხსოვნა. ვახტანგ, მეც მახსოვს როგორ მოდიოდა მამა ანტონი ჩვენს ბათუმის ეკლესიაში და ყოველთვის მშვიდად, თავისი ხმით ლოცულობდა. ოჯახსაც გამძლეობას ვუსურვებ.

Eternal memory to Fr. Antonios. I remember him visiting our parish in Sydney a few years back; he concelebrated at the Liturgy and his calm voice during the petitions really stayed with me. May God grant strength to his family and his Cypriot flock.

Laura Lewis

I remember Fr. Antonios too, he visited our San Francisco parish once and spent a long time talking with the older widows after the service. His voice was indeed so calm it settled the whole church. May his memory be eternal.

Katherine Davis

I remember that visit too — he had this way of listening that made even the quietest widows open up. One of them told me later it felt like talking to her own father again. Memory eternal.

Stephen King

He really did have that gift, didn't he? I saw it myself when he visited our parish kitchen after liturgy one year — even the volunteers who barely spoke Greek ended up telling him their troubles while we packed the boxes. Memory eternal.
