Anthony "Tony" Blaschak, Jr., 69 of Barnesville passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 26, 2022 at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, Allentown with his loving and caring family by his side. Born in Danville on June 29, 1952 he was a son of the late Anthony Blaschak, Sr. and the late Jean (Ebner) Blaschak. He was a 1970 graduate of North Schuylkill High School and also attended Penn State University. On October 25, 1975 in Saint Casimir's Church, Shenandoah, he married the former Debora A. Seroka who survives. Tony was the former owner and operator of the former Blaschak Coal Company, St. Nicholas, Mahanoy City. He was also affiliated with Blaschak Anthracite, Fisher Mining of English Center, Penn Equipment Corporation of Port Carbon, Ringtown Rentals, J&J Towing of Ringtown, Med Stat Ambulance of Hazleton, and Perry Indoor Golf and Billiards of Hamburg. Tony was a member of Saint Michael's Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Shenandoah where he was baptized and received the sacraments. He had a special affection for Saint Casimir's Church, Shenandoah. If you were to ask one hundred people to describe Tony they would smile and say he was a respectful, caring, humble and honest man. They would tell you he was a great boss, working side by side with his men. He was an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, enjoyed camping, liked classic cars and traveling, but above all, he was a devoted husband, father and pappy. He understood that everyone makes mistakes and believed in second chances and that a mans' word and his handshake were as good as gold. He also had the ability to find a silver lining around any grey cloud. Tony uniquely touched the life of every person he met and will be so greatly missed by everyone. Surviving in addition to his wife of almost 47 years, Debora A. "Debb" Blaschak are two daughters, Tamara Lyn Blaschak of Ringtown and Jenna Lei Roland and her husband Adam of Shoemakersville; one son, Jason Ennis of Ringtown; two grandsons, Anthony Calder Roland and Austin Roland; one great-granddaughter, Emma Roland; one brother, Daniel Blaschak of Allentown; two sisters, MaryAnn Wilhelm and her husband Scott of Pine Grove and Susan Mironov and her husband Scott of Pittstown, NJ; sister-in-law, Janet Lukashunas and her husband David of Shenandoah Heights with their daughter, Janette Lukashunas; brother-in-law, Glen Seroka of Ringtown with his son, Jeremy Seroka; additional nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.
