Anthony, Thomas Edward, 91, passed away Friday, September 11 at South Shore Regional Hospital with his family at his side.
Born in Milton on August 5, 1924, he was the son of the late Edward and Margaret Anthony.
As a young child, he lost his mother and went to work doing odd jobs to help support his 4 sisters and brother. He was a stabilizing influence in their lives. He was very fond of his step-mother whom he called “Annie Beattie”.
He was a life-long resident of Milton though in his early years, he served aboard supply ships along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. He then worked in logging camps, on the dams on the Mersey River and later at Steel & Engine Products for many years. He was a self-taught handyman who enjoyed finding ways to “fix things” for himself and others.
He loved the outdoors and spent much time hunting and trapping, he felt at home in the forest often building a lean-to for overnight shelter. He had a small camp on Ten Mile Lake that served as home on his week-long deer hunting trips in the fall. Later in life he and his wife spent summers travelling with their tent trailer, later settling their trailer at Ponhook Lake. He continued to do odd jobs for those at the lake.
One of his greatest joys in later years was time spent with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved to have them visit.
He is survived by daughter Gail (Harry) Gardner; son Ron (Rose), daughter-in-law Suzan; grandchildren Rebecca (Jonathan), Adrian (Nicole); Lisa (Jeff), Melissa (Darcie); Patricia (Vincent) and Julie (Mike); great grandchildren Ethan, Winston, Elijah, Grace, Taya, Kealey, Amelia, Gabriela, Holly, Colton, Madison, Dakota and Emily.
He was predeceased by his wife, Irene, son, Wayne and an infant daughter.
Following a private family committal, a memorial service will take place at Chandlers Funeral Home, Liverpool at 3:00 PM on Sunday, September 20, 2015. Donations in memory may be made to Rosedale Home for Special Care. Online condolences to the family may be made at www.chandlersfuneral.com.
Special thanks to the staff at Rosedale Home, New Germany for their excellent care and also Dr. Nestle and nursing staff at South Shore Regional Hospital.

    Dear Gail and Harry

    On behalf of the Members of the Board of Trustees of Acadia Divinity College I want to extend our condolences and prayers of support for the two of you and all the members of your family as you experience this time of grief. A very special part of your lives will be “missing” for a time but the blessed hope that sustains all of us as brothers and sisters in Christ will be proved to be correct when we rediscover that which was lost when our Lord calls us home. This will have been a week of great demands, physically, emotionally and mentally as so many decisions need to be made and so much re-adjustment occurs. Thankfully it will be the spiritual resources that we possess that will help us meet all those demands. We pray for strength, comfort, encouragement and peace for the living of these days as you settle yourselves in the arms of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Take time to rest in those arms and feel them take the strain and stress and give you all you need. “Be still and know that I am the Lord” (Psalm 46:10) God bless you.

    Rev. Charles Thompson
    Chairman: Acadia Divinity College Board of Trustees
