This is such a bummer on two levels.
ONE. Anthony worked 40 years of his life living paycheck to paycheck. He's been quoted as saying a dishwashing job saved his life. He was beatnik heroin junkie who never learned hard work until a kitchen job. He worked and worked his way up. Disher. Prep Cook. Sous Chef. Head Chef.
He was a loser who proved that hard work, plugging away at what you love, (writing/ food critique/ cooking) had real results. The guy has books/ tv shows, (both of which are awesome) and went from pay check to paycheck to multi-million dollar net worth. Therein lies bummer #1 - he finally made it. So, he killed himself.
Bummer #2 - Depression Kills. No matter how successful you are. Accomplished/ critically acclaimed you are in your field. If you suffer from depression, there is a very good chance you will kill yourself. We all know life does not last forever. Even so, it's never too late - to commit suicide.
