Suda, Anthony V. (24 September 1938 - 7 January 2014) With Flag

Anthony V. Suda (Tony/Sunny), 75, of Owen passed away Jan. 7, 2014, at his home with his family at his side and under the care of Ministry Home Care Hospice.

He was born Sept. 24, 1938, to Anna and Anthony Suda Sr., in the Greenwood area. He was schooled in Greenwood, both public and parochial. He farmed with his brother John until joining the U. S. Army in 1957. Upon his return home in 1960, he began farming northwest of Greenwood. He married Genevieve Kurtinitis from Thorp and together they had three children, Tony, Teresa and Angela. They divorced in 1978. Tony remarried in 1992 to Roseanne Bores of Unity.

Tony farmed in the Greenwood area, owned a hotel in Amery and Ontonagon, MI, and a tavern in Humbird. He then achieved his overall dream of being an over-the-road truck driver both full-time and part-time for local companies like Weathershield and Garner Trucking. Before leaving the trucking industry, he had achieved two million safe miles. In 1991, he moved to the Withee area to raise veal calves and assisted many people doing light carpentry work and painting houses under the name of Handy Man Tony. In 2005, he moved to Owen where he continued to do carpentry work and also worked as a maintenance manager for the Maple Manor & Sunshine Apartments.

Tony had a unique personality and was always happy wherever he was at that particular time. Many people knew him by the funny hat he always wore. He enjoyed traveling, fishing, hunting, trapping, playing Dirty Clubs and visiting with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends that he had met and known over the years.

Tony is survived by his wife, Roseanne; his son, Tony C. Suda of Granton; his daughters, Teresa Tieman of Willard and Angela Rankl Suda of North Branch, MN; as well as six grandchildren, Craig, Randi, Kasey, Alexis, Trent and Carsen; and two great-grandchildren, Allen and Graci. He is also survived by two brothers, Chuck Suda and John Suda, both of Greenwood.

Tony is preceded in death by his parents, Anthony Sr. and Anna Suda; his brother Stanley Suda; his stepson, Clayton Bores; and his daughter-in-law, Cindy Suda.

A memorial service was held at 11 a.m. Saturday Jan. 11, 2014, at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Owen. Rev. Charles Hiebl officiated. Family received relatives and friends Saturday from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the church. Military honors were conducted at the church with a meal following. A private committal service will be held at a later date at the Greenwood Cemetery.

Arrangements were entrusted to Life Tributes Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Spencer. Visit www.lifetributesfuneralhome.com  to share thoughts and condolences.
