Anthony T. Park
New Brighton
Anthony T. Park, 93, of New Brighton, passed away Friday, April 22, 2016, at Good Samaritan Hospice Beaver.
Born April 8, 1923 in Pardus, PA, he was the son of the late Charles S. and Rose (Gerano) Park. He was a graduate of Reynoldsville High School and was a veteran of World War II serving in the U.S. Army. After the war, Anthony worked as an architectural draftsman for Ingrich in Beaver Falls and H.H. Robertson in Ambridge. He retired in 1983.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Rosalie Tanner; four brothers, Albert, Richard, William, and Elmer, and two sisters, Mary and Josephine.
Anthony was an accomplished woodworker who handcrafted many pieces of furniture for his home and many others. A small scale Conestoga wagon that he built is on display at the Merrick Art Gallery in New Brighton. When not crafting with his hands, he spent many days fishing and enjoying the outdoors. He also enjoyed watching the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games.
Surviving are his wife of 72 years, Josephine (London) Park; son-in-law, George (Shirley) Tanner, Beaver; two granddaughters, Cynthia Tanner, Beaver, and Linda (Jason) Natali, Beaver; two great-grandsons, Nolan and Aidan Natali, and numerous nieces, nephews and their families.
