Obituary
MARSHALL-Anthony J. Schweitzer, age 77, of Marshall, passed away on Friday, Dec. 28, 2018, at Edgerton Hospital. He grew up in Milwaukee, the son of George and Geneva Schweitzer. Anthony is survived by his wife, Carol; sons (with his first wife, Patricia) Todd A. (Christine) and Shawn A. (Candi) Schweitzer; granddaughters, Alyssa and Zoe Schweitzer; and several nieces and nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother; and a sister.
Tony’s personality and sense of people made him a perfect fit for working in human resources. After several years working as the VP for Compensation at MRA: The Management Association, he started his own compensation and HR consulting business, Schweitzer Consulting, Inc.
A true romantic, he married Carol Morrison on Valentine’s Day, 1986. His passions included photography and gardening, along with a great love of nature. He enjoyed traveling, with love of finding new beaches. Fishing trips with his sons were always special to him.
Tony’s military service was with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve during peace time between the Korean and Vietnam wars.

The glint in his eye and his contagious snicker will be hallmarks I remember always. You're seeing nature, my friend, from a whole new vantage point. I'm certain you are amazed and relishing taking it all in. We'll support your loved ones on this side, Tony. You were blessed to have Carol in your life, and vice-versa. While I only knew you in very brief snippets, you touched my life.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tony many years ago at one of his favorite Pit stops in Deerfield. Shhh don't tell his wife but he loved those scratch offs. He wasn't only a customer for all those years he was a great friend. He took time out of his own day to photograph my wedding and also taught me a few things about my camera. He was truly a great man and will be missed dearly. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
