Anthony (Rosco) aka “Divine” aka “Funny Money” Hayes, age 51, of Scranton, and formerly of Brooklyn, New York, died on Sunday.
Born in Brooklyn on October 25, 1963, son of the late Thomas and Diane Clark Hayes, he was educated in Brooklyn Schools. His favorite pastimes were playing chess and spending time with his family.
Anthony’s life would seem to be cut short by many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His charismatic personality brought so much to both his family and the people he encountered. After fulfilling his gift of bringing people laughter, his angel was called home. He will be sorely missed but his loved ones know God has a better plan for him.
He is survived by his children, Tyesha Whiteside and Charon Hayes; three grandchildren; sisters, Asia Murray, Catrina Presswood, Yolanda and Samantha Hayes; several nieces, nephews and cousins; and “Uncle Knowledge”, Christopher Clark.
Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday at 6:00PM in the Kearney Funeral Home, Inc., 125 North Main Avenue, Scranton. Relatives and friends may pay their respects on Saturday from 4:00PM until services.
