Anthony "Tony" Van Lab

Anthony "Tony" Van Lab, age 60, of Upper Sandusky, Ohio passed away on Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 12:45AM at his home in Upper Sandusky.

Tony was born on February 9, 1952 at St. Rita's Hospital in Lima, Ohio to Richard and Barbara Jean (Bennett) Lab both of whom are deceased. He married his high school sweetheart, Becky Miller on December 4, 1971 at the First Lutheran Church by the Rev. Charles Steward and she survives in Upper Sandusky.

Also surviving Tony are two sons, Andrew and his wife Megan, Lab and Curtis Lab and his girl friend Lindsey Miller all of Upper Sandusky and five grandchildren, Hannah, Kayla, Nicholas, Dominique and Clayton Lab.

Tony graduated from Upper Sandusky High School in 1970 and began working for Koehler Drug then moving on to the Ohio Power Company. From there he went to work for the Daily Chief Union Newspaper in Upper Sandusky until his retirement due to his becoming disabled.

In earlier years Tony coached little league baseball here in Upper Sandusky. And for hobbies he enjoyed reading, keeping up on politics, following sports especially the OSU football and the New York Yankees, and anything having to do with American Eagles. And those around Tony knew of his love of a good glass of ice tea.
