Steele, Tony
Tony Steele, age 51, of Georgetown, DE, passed away on Tuesday, January 11, 2011. For 18 years, Tony worked at George and Lynch as a heavy equipment operator before launching his own business of eight years, TLC Transit Services, LLC. As a school bus contractor and driver, Tony thoroughly enjoyed his sporting event runs where he could cheer on his "kids" to victory and feed his love of Sussex Central baseball, softball, football, and wrestling. Tony had spent many years on ball fields as a player and as his son's coach, but it was his love and knowledge of racing that has most impacted his son who follows in his footsteps.
Along with his love for sports, Tony dearly loved to travel with his friends and family, from as close to Lancaster, PA to an Alaskan cruise! However, he equally loved his own backyard, the woods, where he could take long, peaceful rides in his camouflaged buggy, hunting for that big buck with his son and his son's fiancée. Tinkering in his shop on his tractor also kept him busy and his mechanical skills kept many of his family's and friends' cars on the road. As of late, Tony looked forward to his morning coffee run with his beloved Chihuahua, Callie.
Tony is survived by his wife of 30 years, Lisa and their son, Colby and fiancée Stacey Gardner, of Georgetown; his parents, Josephine and Elmer Massey; brothers Allan Schirmer and wife Nancy and Mike Steele and wife Lori; and his in-laws, Floyd and Gail Megee, all of Georgetown.
