  In civilian life Tony had been employed by the Pepsi Cola Co. and Wire Rope Co., both in Williamsport, as well as the former Swayze Folding Box Co.  and  the former Schrader-Bellows Air Valve Co., both in Canton.    However, Tony  chose to pursue an occupation that would make better use of his  skills as a “people person.”  He took a course in mixology and became a bartender, serving at Canton area taverns such as The Park Hotel,  The Lion’s Den, Outside Inn and Wheeler’s.  Eventually he became a restauranteur, owning and operating several Canton eating establishments such as The Chuck Wagon on Sullivan Street, Tony’s Pizza on Troy Street and Mick’s Place on Lycoming Street.  There, he mingled with his patrons, connecting with them one-on-one.  Tony was also a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather  who enjoyed the company of family and friends.
   Surviving are sons, Scott Liberati (& Ann Wiley), Mainesburg, PA., Anthony Liberati,II, Canton; daughters Lisa Liberati, Canton, Micky (& Mark) Spencer, Granville Summit; sister Ruth Thompson, Burlington, VT; grandchildren Michael Liberati, Mainesburg, Dustin (& Michelle) Pepper, Somers’ Point, NJ, Brandon Wilcox, Canton, Shantel Spencer and Marissa Spencer, both of Granville Summit; great-grandchildren Emily and Dylan Liberati of FL, Landon & Laela Pepper of NJ, Lilly Wilcox, Canton; many nieces and nephews.  
    He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara, grandson Dylan Liberati, brother-in-law John Dowling, sisters Irene Keller and Phoebe Eddinger, brothers Alfred and Calvin Liberati and parents Albert and Mary Liberati.
    Visitation will be 12 to 2 pm  April 25th at Morse & Kleese Funeral Home, 94 N. Center Street,  Canton.  Service will follow at 2 o’clock with Pastor Jerry Schmidt officiating.  
    Interment will be in Beech Flats Cemetery.
