Anthony Hamstra Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bussell Family Funerals - Carmel on Dec. 15, 2025.
Tony Hamstra recently left us on the same day that he was born. He was a successful businessman who was shaped by the strong values of being from a farming family, serving in the armed forces during a war, seeking degrees in pharmacy and business, helping people whenever he could, and learning from a great deal of trial and error.

Most importantly, Tony was married, a father, and a grandfather. He was an avid angler, and he loved and honored Nature. Survivors include his wife, his son, two brothers, and a sister, as well as his three well-loved grandchildren, extended families, and close friends. Luckily, he was supported in his demise by not only his family but also multiple close friends.

A private, immediate family-only interment and a later Celebration of Life will occur soon. Friends and family will be notified of the future Celebration of Life. In short, Tony was a good, strong, generous, and brave man who was revered in business and life.

In memory of Tony, contributions may be directed to the donor's favorite charity, church, park, or institution.

Bussell Family Funerals is privileged to assist the family with arrangements.

I cannot begin to tell you how much our long-distance Friendship has meant to me over the years. From our days in high school to to the three days we spent together in Saigon during the Vietnam War. Upon our Return, he stood beside me as my Best Man to my loving wife, Susie, some 54 years ago. Tony will be sorely missed. George Curry
