would attend the Bengals Training Camp. Antjuan was truly
their #1 fan. He also liked the Cincinnati Reds and the Los
Angeles Lakers, and would occasionally attend their games
also.
He was currently a Metro operator for 14 years. This is
where he met his fiancé, Barbara Fowler. They enjoyed traveling,
attending the ballgames and just being with family
and friends.
