Devoted husband of Hildegard Elster for 56 years and the loving and much adored father of Angela Elster. Family and friends in Canada, Spain and Germany will sadly miss Tony. He will be especially missed by Peggy Ward, Yvonne Eder and family, as well as his brothers and sisters: Albert, Victor, Fanny and Adelina, and of course by his cherished cat Mitzi. We will all miss the laughter and fun and the genuine kindness that was the essence of Tony.
