In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
TASKER, Anthony James (Tony) - In loving memory of our dad, Anthony “Tony” James Tasker, who passed away on April 12th, 2023. He was the devoted husband of Karen and loving father of Peter (Senecca), Matthew (Lane), and Tristan (Kelly), and proud grandfather of Abi, CJ, Charlie, Brynn, Nohl, and Mara. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Born in Quebec City to Fred and Betty on July 10, 1954. Tony, along with his siblings, Jill and Geoff, grew up in different parts of Quebec and Northern Ontario, but it was Pictou, Nova Scotia that he claimed as his hometown.
A true maritimer at heart, Tony served in the Royal Canadian Navy after attending the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario. He took those invaluable learned skills and applied them to civilian life, working in the telecom industry for 25+ years. His drive and determination eventually lead to Tony starting his own small business, where his kindness and reputation preceded him.
One of the kindest souls on this planet, Tony was a gentle, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed. He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength and courage.
His love for his family was deep. There are not enough words to describe the love that we all have for Tony and the gap his passing leaves will not soon be filled.
Our family would like to express our deepest gratitude to the staff at the Ottawa General Hospital and Elisabeth Bruyère Hospital for their compassionate care in dad’s last days.
A Graveside Service for Anthony will be held at Capital Funeral Home and Cemetery on Friday April 21, 2023 at 2 pm., 3700 Prince of Wales Dr. Nepean ON K2C 3H1 613-692-1211. (Capital Funeral Home and Cemetery)
