Obituary for Anthony "Tony" Smaha
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Anthony (Tony) Smaha, on March 25, 2021 at the age of 82. Tony was loved dearly by his life partner of 30 years Nettie, along with his children Anthony Smaha and Deborah Zimmerman. Grandchildren, Benjamin (Josée), Jacquelyn, Laura, Sara and his stepchildren, Debra, Mike (Jenn), Kevin (LeeAnn) will hold Tony forever in their hearts. Tony leaves to mourn his brother, Andy (Keitha), sister Sylvia (Ness) along with many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father Anton, mother Barbara, brother David and first wife Jacquelyn.
Tony was a jack of all trades including owning a restaurant, The Pagoda, and spending most of his working life at Canada Post alongside his son Tony. He was a great sportsman playing hockey, golf and founded the Winnipeg Old Timers hockey league, which is still running today.
His greatest pleasure in his retired life was spending the winter months with Nettie in Texas at their trailer. Tony was caring, generous and never had an unkind word to say.
A celebration of Tony's life will be held at a later date when we can all gather together outdoors at his favourite place, the cottage at Sandy Hook, MB.
