Anthony Merrick Moule was born Saturday, November 22, 1924 in Ninette, MB, the third child of George and Mae Moule. Tony’s family moved to The Pas in 1929, when his mom and dad bought The Pas Bakery, renaming it Sunrise Bakery. He often told of his mom shooing him away from the donuts, tarts and other sweets and sending him off to the movies instead. Still, some of those goodies made it to the movie house for himself and his friends. Tony attended Red Brick School until graduating from high school in 1943. During his teen years, Tony was active in sports, particularly track and field where he won many medals. He also played hockey. Tony’s after school and weekend job was as a delivery boy for Caroll’s Hardware. Later he would chuckle and explain, the driving test was simple: If you could drive forward 10 feet and backwards 10 feet, you were good to go. Tony joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1943, training as a Wireless Air Gunner. He transferred to the Canadian Army to prepare for the frontlines. Tony’s knack for money management led to a side job in the Army, taking care of fellow officer’s money. As instructed, he refused their baleful pleas to ensure that money took the officers through to the next cheque. Years later, it was a skill Tony put to good use in his administrative career. Thankfully, the war ended before Tony completed his training. He was honorably discharged and proceeded to further his education at Angus College in Winnipeg where he obtained an accounting certificate. Around this time, Tony married Alma Sabbe, a spunky young woman who shared a fun-loving spirit. They had six children: Carol, Louise, Barbara, Marylin, Jim and Lisa. After his accounting certificate, Tony earned a Degree in Business Management and went on to work at Keystone Fisheries until 1951. He was hired as the Town of The Pas Secretary/Treasurer, later to be promoted to Town Administrator. Tony also provided accounting services for the Legion and the Sacred Heart Parish. Retiring in May of 1990, Tony had big plans to concentrate on his painting skills, of which he was quite proficient. He also planned to make plenty of time for relaxing with a movie….or two, or three. Tony grew into an avid shopper as well and often defended his shopping habits by saying, “If one is good, two is better!” His sense of humor and his playfulness was much loved by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Tony passed away peacefully Monday, August 9, 2010 at St. Paul’s Personal Care Home, The Pas, Manitoba, age 85 years. Tony is predeceased by his parents George Alfred and Louisa Mae Moule, his brothers Derrick and Gerald, his daughter Barbara Hay and infant granddaughter Pamela Hopper.
