Donald Anthony Obituary
Don was born June 19, 1948 in Worcester, Mass. As a triplet, he grew up with his lifelong best friends, his brother and sister. He entered eternal rest on Oct. 4, 2010 at his home in Simi Valley after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
He enjoyed camping, fishing, and gardening. His greatest passions were the game of golf, coaching his daughters in soccer throughout their childhood and being the best Papa to his five grandchildren. He was proud to have served his country in the United States Army and was a veteran of the Vietnam War.
Don is survived by his wife of 40 years, Cindy; daughter, Brandi Dimson (Richard) and their children Amanda, Kendall and Megan; as well as daughter, Alycia Voelker (Jeff) and their children Bailey and Braden. He is also survived by his mother, Beth Anthony; brother, Ron (Renee); sister-in-law, Harlene Holeman; his best friend, Joe Trujillo; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his father, Mel Anthony, and sister, Shirleen Thayer.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 8, at Reardon Simi Valley Funeral Home in Simi Valley.

Don will be missed on and off the golf course and especially at our yearly golf trip to Palm Springs with him and his family. The Palm Springs trip will continue and every time we tee it up we will think of Don. To the Anthony family, we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
