Obituary of Anthony Kavanagh

Anthony Thomas Kavanagh (Tony) of Calgary passed away on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 and will be greatly missed by his children, Mark (Karen), Teri and Lori; grandchildren, Shayne, Christopher, Kimberley, Molly and Keenan. Tonys cards, calls and humour will be missed by his five sisters and extended family as well as his very good friends at the 289 Millennium Branch Legion. Tony served with the PPCLI in Korea and was the recipient of the Korea Medal, the UN Service Medal and the Peacekeeping Service Medal. He was a life-time member of the Royal Canadian Legion and helped start two branches. He also volunteered for the Poppy Fund and the Korea Veterans Association. Born in Montreal May 6, 1932, Tony, his wife, Ann and three children moved to Calgary in 1968. His contagious sense of adventure helped his whole family develop a love for Alberta and the Rockies in particular. Tony was an outdoorsman, fisherman and camper who loved exploring. He was a huge Alouettes fan who also never stopped loving the Habs. A Tribute and Celebration of Tonys Life will be held at the Killarney Glengarry Community Centre, 2828 28 Street S.W. on Saturday, April 2, 2011 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations may be made directly to The Poppy Trust Fund Alberta/NWT Command, 2020 15 Street N.W., Calgary, AB T2M 3N8.
