Tom Antosh was born on the farm in Boulton Municipality in the spring of , the fifth of Metro and Alexandra Antosh's seven children. He was the last living of his siblings, by many years.
While he celebrated his birthdays on May 11th he'd said before that he thought he was actually born some time in April, and May 11th was probably the first day his parents ever took him into town, and they got him a birth certificate that day. Remnants of the farmhouse where he was born still stand to this day on the edge of what is now Goroluk farmland.
He was fifteen years old. Little did he know at that time what future employment would come later in life. Dad lived a good long life filled with all of the riches he ever dreamed of. He married his one true love, Mary Midzain, on November 27th, , and together they celebrated 68 anniversaries. It was a marvel to still see them sitting together every day with all kinds of new things to talk about. They got old, but it never got old, for Mom and Dad.
Dad liked to joke that the secret to him living so long was marrying a younger woman but we know that his secret was marrying THIS younger woman. He lived for Mom. Together they created a family of their own, five kids in four years, and raised them all to be good people.
He put a roof over their heads, food on the table, clothed them, was a great example for them, taught them everything he knew and hoped they'd learn much more than that. Each of his children took lessons and examples from their Dad.
