- RICK III - Anthony William
78, of North Tonawanda, passed away Saturday, November 12, 2022 at Buffalo General Hospital, surrounded by his family. Anthony was born in Boston on October 31, 1944 to Mary Lois (Evans) Brick and Anthony W. Brick, Jr. Anthony was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend who lived his whole life in North Tonawanda surrounded by his large family. He was a proud father of eight who delighted in keeping up with the lives of his children, grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. Tony was a mechanical genius who could make anything he envisioned out of wood or metal. He was a machinist and toolmaker by trade and his hobbies included restoring his 1954 MG, building furniture and cabinetry, and fixing and building anything for anyone who asked. Tony had a deep love of music-all genres-as well as an independent mind and a slightly twisted sense of humor that he passed down to all eight of his children. He was intellectually curious and had an enthusiasm for life with a daredevil streak that mellowed slightly with age. He was one of a kind and will be keenly missed by all who knew him. Anthony was predeceased by his parents and his son, Paul M. Brick. He is survived by his wife of 49 years Marion (Morris) Brick; his children Bernadette (Jason Brightman), Joseph (Claire Ettema), Anthony (Danielle Hart), Carmen, John (Cathleen Ryan), Elizabeth, and Theresa; and his grandchildren Kyra, Kaylin, Nathaniel, Sylvia, and Paige Ettema Williams. He is also survived by his brothers Daniel (Kathleen), Gwilym (Kathleen), Kevin (Barbara Kloch), Brendan (Deborah), and Regis; sister Marylois Stanziano (Stephen); and many nieces and nephews. A mass of Christian burial will be held at 1:00 PM on Thursday, Nov. 17 at St. Jude's the Apostle, 800 Niagara Falls Blvd, North Tonawanda. Wattengel.com
