David Anthony Obituary
He was born in Punxsutawney on July 22, 1942, a son of the late L. Thomas Anthony and Kathryn (Gould) Anthony.
On Feb. 23, 1963, he married the former Mary Jane Conrad. She survives and resides in Punxsutawney. They enjoyed 60 years of marriage together.
Dave worked as a heavy equipment operator and proudly helped build many roads around the region, he retired from HRI Corporation. Following retirement, he loved to mow grass for hours and hours each week; it kept his mind and hands busy doing something constructive.
He was a good husband and father to his children. He really enjoyed the grandchildren above all else.
