In Loving Memory of Anthony (Antek) Michniak Jr “Captain Tony”
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Tony, known fondly as “Captain Tony” on October 7th, 2024. A true fisherman at heart, Tony’s life was spent on the water, navigating the waves with skill and passion. His love for the sea was unmatched, and his stories of the big catch and the adventures of a life lived on the open ocean were legendary among family and friends.
Born with saltwater in his veins, Tony grew up by the coast, where his fascination with fishing began at an early age. Over the years, he became known for his incredible expertise, earning him the nickname “Captain Tony”. His patience, knowledge, and kindness made him not only a great fisherman but also a cherished mentor to those who followed in his footsteps.
Tony was more than just a fisherman. He was a pillar of strength for his family, always ready with a warm smile, a helping hand, and a funny story. His generous spirit, boundless energy, and unwavering love for those around him will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his loving family, including Sabine Michniak (Bean), Michael Michniak (Mike), Eric Michniak (Kiki), and Grace Hack (G.G.), and a wide circle of friends and fellow seafarers who will carry his memory forward. Though the tides have taken him from us, his legacy will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
Sail on, Captain Tony. May you find eternal peace in the waters beyond.
