My father has passed away today at 6:45 am in Niagara Falls hospital. He was treated very well and I thank all the nurses and doctors.

My dad has touched so many people with his life, If you have met him once you probably will never forget him. He would have a million stories and still go on. From escaping Romania and communism and the hardships to funny stories like how urine fixes everything and is a cure all. 5 years ago he started Antigravity skate shop so I can have a bright future and together we have built it up to where it is together. I hope every skater that has graced us appreciates what he has done for all of us. Anthony was the most inspiring person I’ve ever met “Inspirement is the Requirement” Well it’s been met. Just last year he had a liver transplant due to doctors finding cancer in his liver, He struggled through the medicine and appeared to be doing well. In January this year he felt ill again and went back to london for 9 weeks during this time he had Gondis, 3 hernias, Pancreatitis. Pneumonia, his kidneys shut down and Scoliosis on his liver yet he still walked out of the hospital and came back home. He is a soldier for putting up with all the suffering unfortunatley his time has come. His memory will forever live on through stories, laughs good times, AGk boards, and through Antigravity. Please Comment and leave anything that will help me and my family in this tragic time. Stories of Anthony shall make me smile Thank you everyone Heaven gained a true angel today and I hope he watches over me as I make him proud. Love Trevor Nedea

An associate professor of digital arts at the University of Oregon since 2005, Michael Salter has created a stir in the art world with his “Styrobots,” robots made of styrofoam.

The Styrobots have appeared in galleries from the Bay Area to Brussels and are anywhere from 16 inches to an enormous 22 feet tall.
