Toby,

I offer my heartfelt condolences to you, your wife and her mom - Lillian. Tony sounds like he was a great guy. What a lousy birthday present life dealt him. I guess we can take comfort in the knowledge that he's in a better place now. No more pain or suffering.

Be well yourself, my friend.

Thoughts and prayers sent during your time of Sorrow...

Tobias Gibson said:

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the sad news of the passing of my father in law, Anthony J. Smierciak. Tony was a great father and husband. He served in the Marines back in 1957. After leaving the marines he became a draftsman and later a professional Land Surveyor. He had a major stroke in the summer of 2001 which forced him to retire from the profession he loved. About a month ago he was in a car accident. While doing a cat scan to determine if he had internal injuries a life threatening aneurism was discovered. Due to complications from the accident they were unable to perform emergency surgery. He was in and out of the ICU while they tried to stabilize his condition. He was on the mend and on the road to recovery when today without warning the aneurism burst. It was over in minutes. Today was his 78 birthday.

Thanks for all the prayers. Please keep his wife Lillian in your prayers now as she struggles to cope with her the loss of her husband of 55 years.

Thank you.

Thank you to the IKC community. My family and I have been touched by your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. And please know that your thoughts and prayers have not gone unnoticed or unfulfilled. They have helped to ease our pain.

The Lily was especially poignant and helped to brighten my mother in law's house a little during these dark hours.
