Tony was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend whose warmth and humor touched everyone he met and had a personality that could light up any room. He moved to Hawaii in February of 1979. He built a fulfilling career working for the State of Hawaii at the Department of Transporation, where he worked for 28 years as a supervising engineering technician VI. He also worked part time at Holiday Mart Pearl City (currently known as Don Quijote) in the electronics department. He eventually retired in June of 2016. His dedication and work ethic left a lasting impression on his colleagues and community.
Outside of work, Tony lived life to the fullest. He enjoyed karaoke, playing piano and guitar, going to and hosting family parties and traveling, especially on cruiseships. His greatest joy came from spending time with his family, especially his two grand daughters, who adored their grandpa's stories and playful spirit.

Ang (Ryan); sister, Rosita "Rosie" Lacar Adaoag (Maximo), grandchildren, Kataleya Sofia Ang and Olivia Marie Dean; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
