Anton “Carry” van Tol, 77, of Sebastian, Fla., formerly of Elizabeth Township, passed away Monday, Feb. 1, 2021, after a courageous 10-year battle with cancer. He had resided in Sebastian for the past five years. He was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Jan. 11, 1944, and was the son of the late Antoon and Wilhelmina van Tol. He is survived by his wife of more than 55 years, Nora Bloom van Tol; a daughter, Christine van Tol of Versailles; grandchildren, Colleen Mence (Matthew) of Wilson and Keith Mence of Versailles; great-grandchildren, Erik, Denver and Nora; a brother, Rene (Debbie) van Tol of Round Rock, Texas; and a sister, Ingrid (Bill) Hailer of West Virginia. Carry was the co-proprietor of the former Highland Meadows Auto Service in Elizabeth Township before retiring to Florida. While living in Elizabeth Township for 45 years, he served as past president of the Rotary Club of Elizabeth and was a member of the Masons’ Duquesne- McKeesport Lodge No. 731. He was also known for lending a hand and humor when needed. There will be no visitation. A celebration of life service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for memorial donations to Brother’s Brother foundation at Brother’s Brother Foundation, 1200 Galveston Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15233, 412-321-3160, or brothersbrother.org or a charity of your choice.
