Anton (Tony) Bayer, age 83 of Lone Butte, passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 100 Mile District Hospital; with his loving wife of 54 years, Ellen, at his side.
Tony was born on June 16, 1928 in Neutitschein, Czechoslovakia and moved to Canada in 1956. He worked in Vancouver for Woodward’s Display Advertising Dept. for 22 years.
After having spent their summers in the Cariboo for seven years, in 1985 Tony and his wife Ellen moved here permanently. Tony enjoyed his home, his friends and fishing; this was his paradise.
He is survived by his devoted wife Ellen, son Michael (Lina), daughter Monica and three grandchildren: Michelle, Anthony, and Courtney. Tony will be missed and forever remembered by his family, many friends, and neighbours.
The Bayers would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Klopper and the emergency room nurses for their great compassion and care of Tony.
A Celebration of Life in honour of Tony will be held at 11:00 a.m. on June 16, 2012 at the Lone Butte Community Hall. There will be a reception following immediately after the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the South Cariboo Health Foundation, Bag 399, 100 Mile House, BC, V0K 2E0.
