Tony was predeceased by his father, Lawrence Smale; his brother-in-law, Karsten Pedersen; his nephew, Derrick Pedersen; his uncles, Will, Lyle and George; and his aunts, Betty and Eva. Tony was born in London, Ontario where he received his early education. He moved to BC in 1968 and attended school in Delta. Tony worked in the mills in BC and Northern Alberta for many years. He had his own auto parts business in Bashaw, Alberta, and drove cement truck near Camrose until his disability forced him to retire. It was at that time that Tony moved to Medicine Hat. He enjoyed playing crib at the Strathcona Centre and exercising at the YMCA. He loved spending time with his family and friends. Tony was an animal lover and enjoyed his motorcycle as well as classic cars and trucks. A Graveside Service will be held at a later date in Creston, BC.
