Raised in Holland and a survivor of World War II prison camps, Tony immigrated to the United States on August 1954 in search of the American dream. He proudly became a naturalized United States Citizen in 1959. He continued to embrace his European heritage throughout his life. To that end he was a member of Hollandia, a Dutch social club and The Dutch Radio Choir, traveling throughout Utah from church to church expressing his spirituality through song. Tony displayed a loving zest for life and in turn was loved by many. He was a devout Christian and caring husband and father. His love of travel and family took him often to The Netherlands, Australia, Canada and various destinations within the United States. He was employed by Grand Central, Keith Warshaw and retired from Mountain Fuel.
