Midwestern roots. Tony was
always known for his Faith,
love of family, loyalty and
mentoring spirit.
At age 18, Tony joined

Tony and his young family
of four, plus his four siblings,
their spouses and his moth-
er, Mary Nellis, all moved
West to Klamath Falls, Ore.,
in 1970.
Tony earned his degree in
mechanical engineering at
Oregon Institute of Technol-
ogy in 1974 while support-
ing his family, working at
Weyerhaeuser and playing
music on the weekends.
He moved to Coos Bay
and there found his true
career working at Bay Area
Hospital in the Engineer-
ing Department. There, he
also met the love of his life
a R.N., Judi who became his
wife in 1986. They have en-
joyed 33 years of marriage
and romance.
He worked at Group
Health Hospital System in

riety of positions as director
over various departments
and hospitals in that system.
His
most
rewarding
achievement was Project

mento.
One of his most memo-
rable work experiences was
with his “Core Team” on
that project. He retired in
2015.
Tony and Judi returned to
the Oregon Coast in Flor-
ence.
Tony came to know the
Lord as his Savior in his 30s.
He lived out his faith by tell-
ing others of the love God
has for us all and the for-
giveness of sins by believing
Jesus died and rose to heav-
en paying for the sins we all
have.
He had a servant’s heart as
he was building something
at whatever church he at-
tended, encouraging others
in their faith, being an Elder,
or just listening and sharing
Scripture. He was the loving
leader of our family and he
was lovingly cared for by his
family at home at the time of
his death.
