A devoted husband, father and outdoorsman, Tony lived a life full of adventure, love and dedication to his family.

Tony found peace and joy in nature, sharing those moments with his loved ones and passing down his appreciation for the outdoors.

Tony was married to the love of his life, Beth (Bury) Grauman for 39 wonderful years. Together they built a life filled with love and laughter. He was a proud father to, Olivia LaBarge, Abigail Grauman, Julie Pryor, Toni-Lynn and a loving grandfather to Maggie, Vivien and Forrest LaBarge; sisters, Connie Carl and Cynthia Sells and brother, Jim Grauman. His two loyal dogs were always by his side, a testament to his kind and caring nature. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Mary Grauman.

He will be laid to rest at Kingscreek Cemetery.

Following the burial, family and friends are invited to the LaBarge home at 4650 Hickory Grove Rd., Urbana, OH 43078
