Tony Wise Fundraiser

On Monday, April 2, just one day after Easter of this year (2018) the world suddenly lost a very extraordinary man, George Anthony “Tony” Wise. Tony served his country in the United States Coast Guard as a rescue swimmer and underwater welder and he served his community as a volunteer firefighter. He was revered as the kind of man who would do anything to help his family, friends, and neighbors and he truly enjoyed doing it. His sense of humor and quality of joy was contagious to those lucky enough to be in his presence. However, despite his many contributions to his country, community, family, and friends Tony’s greatest accomplishments in life were his children. Though he took great pride in his service in the U.S. Coast Guard and his service as a fireman it was unsurpassed by the pride he had for his kids. His parenting and compassion towards his children was inspiring and envious to say the least. Tony passed away suddenly in the late afternoon of Monday, April 2, 2018 to what was presumed to be a pulmonary embolism. Predeceased by his wife Petina Wise, Tony leaves behind five children; four daughters Gemma Ann Melba 27, Celeste Marie 25, Zoe Claire 23, Emmison Wise 10, and son Drew Anthony 21. Along with any thoughts or prayers that may be rendered for his family we are asking for donations to help his children cope with the many expenses they may face throughout this transition. Any support would be greatly acknowledged and appreciated in helping this family through their loss.
