Thomas C. Antenucci 1930-2017
Age 86, of Canton, passed away Sunday May 7, 2017. He was born August 31, 1930 in Canton to the late Anthony and Wanda (Stricker) Antenucci. Tom was a 1948 graduate of Timken Vocational High School and a life member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Canton. He was the former owner/operator of The Old Landmark Tavern for more than 50 years and formerly employed by Home Beverage Co. Tom was an Army veteran having served from 1948-1955.
He is preceded in death by four brothers, Robert, Carl, Jim and Raymond Antenucci; five sisters, Helen Dugan, Mary Alice Kolacsky, Jane Mottice, Sister Thomasine Antenucci and Eleanor McCullough. He is survived by one brother, Paul (Joanne) Antenucci; many nieces and nephews. Tom used excerpts of a poem written by Max Ehrmann as his personal mantra;
Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world, Be Careful. Strive to be happy.
In keeping with Tom's wishes there will be no public services and a private burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St Francis at P.O. Box 305, Stevens Point, WI 54481-0305. Condolences or fond memories may be shared online at

Tom was one of the most soft spoken, polite, dignified and respectable gentleman on the planet. His kindness and generosity with everyone was unmatched and now leaves a void that may never be filled. RIP, Tom.

Sad to hear of Tom's passing. Although it has been many years since our paths have crossed, I will forever hold the memories of our late night or early morning conversations about whatever was going on at that time or just sitting at the bar with the jukebox playing and singing to Frank Sinatra's "My Way"! His generosity, at any time, got me out many jams. Rest in peace, TA, rest in peace!

Tom was my Uncle. Not biologically, but I grew up with Tom always there with the Kragalott family. Tom was a positive personality, and this is often lacking in our world. I never knew him to have an unkind word (unless the football Bulldogs had poor Coaching or the officials had it in for the other squad). He was intelligent and thoughtful. I will miss him. I feel bad for my Uncle Sam, but I'm sure he feels fortunate to have had such a close ally in life as Tom.

Paul and Joanne,
So sorry to hear of your loss.

Always the consummate gentleman. Tom's soothing tone of voice would calm the chaos whether engaging someone individually, or engaging a group. His smile was contagious......never fake or forced. His positive demeanor and influence affected so many, spanning several generations.

This life may be at a close, but the memories will live on as the legacy of Tee-aay........God speed my friend.
