Anthony (Tony) Slaby, 65, of Arcadia died Sunday, May 11, 2014.
Tony was born April 4, 1949 in Arcadia to Vincent and Delores (Slabik) Slaby. He graduated from Arcadia High School in 1967.
On Oct. 17, 1970, Tony married Marlys A. Kolstad. They had four children. Tony was an excellent dairy farmer all of his life before retiring in 2010. Tony and Marlys divorced in 2013.
Tony is survived by four children, Anthony A.

Tony greatly enjoyed his cows and farming, hunting deer and other game with friends and family throughout the years, following his beloved Packers, Brewers, and Badgers, and spending time with his grandchildren.
