Everybody Loves Tony...To know Tony is to love Tony...Anthony John, Ace Man, Urbs, Urban, or just Tony... Husband to Tracey; father to Vanessa and Tony; son of Frank and Mary Lou Urban; brother to Debbie, Dan and Frank; brother-in-law to Larry Letvinuck, Helena and Kerri Urban and Denise Percival; son-in-law to Vincent and Nancy Sazera; uncle to Nichole, Landon, Sterling, and McKena Urban, as well as Danielle Teixeira, and Tyler and Chase Percival; great uncle to Abbigail, Issic and Cloey Teixeira; grandson of Ann Venier; Nephew of Carol Monahan, Dick Venier, Patricia Venier, Barbara Moose; and cousin to many. Tony loved life and was always willing to help anyone in need. Tony knew everyone and everyone knew Tony. He was compassionate, generous and kind. A wonderful husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Tony touched lives everywhere and was not soon forgotten. Tony loved to joke around, tease and just make people laugh with you not at you. He made you feel special, like he really cared about you and your life. He was always fun to have a beer with, even long distance. We had a six-pack conversation once that was never forgotten and spoken of frequently. Tony was not afraid of work...His job, at home or helping someone else. Tony loved working with wood: making cedar chests, coffee tables, a dining table, and cabinets. Tony loved to gamble whether on the horses, dogs, slots, craps, or poker. He had such fun because he got so excited. Recently he was playing 3-card poker, when he drew a straight flush. He called to ask why they gave him so much money. Grab the bucks and run!! Courtesy of his Grampa Urban, Tony was a certified Junk Salvage Specialist. He saw potential in everything. Tony was Hubcap Ace Man and had many friends in the industry with customers and even competitors. He was recognized as a good man. Tony loved to be with the family. The annual Urban Christmas cookie bake was a very special and anticipated event for Tony. He has loved to bake ever since Santa brought him his very own Easy Bake Oven a very long time ago! Tony loved Swedish pancakes and was king of the stove for breakfast at home and at the Urban Family Christmas celebration. Tony was one-of-a-kind and will never be replaced. He will be missed so much by everyone that knew and loved him. God Bless You, Tony Urban.
