Toni Schug
November 4, 2020
Toni was a loving father to Cindy Bhulai of Newmarket and Krista (Ian) Schug-Ringland of Northern Ireland. Dear Grandfather to Nigel (Shawna), Zachary, Josh, Ethan, Myles and Molly and great-grandfather to Addilyn and Jacob.
He is survived by his brother Wolfgang; the mother of his children, JoAnne Stack; sisters-in-law Peggy Stack, Susan (Charlie) Ogg, and Laurie Stack; brother-in-law Pat Stack; his Godson, Steve Langdon; as well as many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews here in Canada and Germany.
Toni immigrated to Canada from Bad Kreuznach, Germany in the late 50\'s. In 1961 with his childhood friend Dieter, they hopped on the bus heading north to the mines to make their fortune but the money ran out and their bus ride ended in Mount Forest. By chance they were offered a job at Nobel\'s Mink Ranch and later he built a house and started his own ranch outside of Holstein. He sold his “Land of milk and honey”, moved to town and started working at Phoenix Veneer where he retired when they closed. Toni was a happy, friendly man who loved people, nature and walking.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life will be planned for next year. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Toni are asked to consider the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation. Arrangements entrusted to the England Funeral Home, Mount Forest.
Condolences
Sorry for your loss. I got to know Tony while doing repairs and weekly janitorial work for Murray Gould. Tony would always open the door from his apartment and want to chat. I got to love Tony as a friend and even after my contract ended I would occasionally call him or bring him a coffee and chat for a while. He had a heart ❤️ of gold. I miss you old buddy. Condolences to the family. He spoke lovingly of his girls and grandkids. Love and blessings to all of you. Les
— Les, November 22, 2020So sorry for your loss. Prayers to the family. Tony was often at our home when he was working at Phoenix Veneers. My ex husband, Tom Dunlop and Tony were good friends at work and outside work. He was always full of life and had lots of stories to tell us. May he now rest in peace and fly with the Angel's.
