He attended Wadesville High School and served two years in the U.S. Army. Hard work and Tony went hand-in-hand. He worked at Whirlpool for 36 years. He and his wife always had a second job/hobby they did together: chopping wood, craft shows and woodworking.

Tony was a member of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Poseyville, Indiana where he could be found ushering and warming the back church pew. He loved his woodworking “hobby” making beautiful furniture that can be found in several states, searching for gold with his metal detector and taking trips to Florida and Las Vegas with friends and family.

He is survived by his wife, Jane E. “Janie” (Campbell) Montgomery; daughter, Angela Sparks (Kenneth); grandchildren: Alyssa and Collin Schwenk and Madison and Ben Sparks.

Preceding him in death were his parents.
