Anthony Kulas Obituary

Anthony Joseph Kulas Jr. (Tony/Antek), 85, of Fort White, Florida passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. Tony was born September 5, 1938 in Springfield, MA to Anthony and Helen (Golon) Kulas.

Tony is survived by two daughters, Susan Depka and her husband Frederick of Dunnellon, FL and Linda Thiery and her husband Robert of Fort White, FL, a son, Anthony Kulas III of Port St. Lucie, FL, three granddaughters, Briana Kulas-O'Connell of Trenton, NJ, Jessica Thiery of Fort White, FL and Scarlett Odessa Kulas of Port St. Lucie, FL, and a great grandson, Jaden Beck of Trenton, NJ. He is also survived by his brother David Kulas and his wife Ann and his sister Christine Whipple.

He was predeceased by his wife, Janet (Judson) Kulas, his sister Carolyn Depka, his brother Jerome Kulas, and his faithful canine companions, Toki and Kodi. He was also predeceased by his former wife Christine (Kolakowski) Kulas, mother of his three children.

Tony started his career working on his father's tobacco farm. He then proudly served in the Connecticut Air National Guard, 103rd Airborne Squadron (1960-1966). He was the owner of A J Kulas Trucking until he changed careers and began working for the City of Port St Lucie Florida. He retired as a supervisor from The City of Port St Lucie Florida Public Works Department.

After retirement Tony returned to his first love, working on the farm. He enjoyed being outdoors on his John Deere tending to the land and orchard, working on projects around the farm, and supervising the flames of a brush pile fire. He enjoyed NASCAR and attended many races. He was known for his extensive knowledge regarding interesting facts, current and historical. He put a smile on the face of everyone he met by sharing jokes and funny stories. He will be loved and missed by many.

Many a day I still think of the entire Kulas family growing up as their neighbor and remembering the good times. Anthony was always cheerful and a wonderful person to know. David , Chris and Ann please know your brother is in a great place with tremendous company. May God bless you all and get you through this hard time.
Sincerely,

Anthony was the oldest of us five kids and I am the youngest, he told some great stories and shared lots of memories with us. I will miss our conversation's on the phone where we did more laughing then talking.

That he always wore a shirt with a pocket and would have a little note pad in it to record his daily events and how much he spent.
