He remained a country boy at heart.

Tony was known to always have a good tale or story about his life and farm adventures.

Our father lived a full life.

We would like to thank the sisters and residents of St. Benedict’s Assisted living and the dedicated staff of the 5^th floor at Seven Oaks Hospital for their care and compassion.

A celebration for Tony and his late wife Rose will take place at a later date. A final announcement of the date and time will follow.

We love you Dad.

Rest in Peace
