Anthony A. “Tony” Baumhover

Tony A. Baumhover, passed away peacefully, at the age of 66, on Sunday, July 23, 2023, surrounded by the love of his family. Tony was born in Omaha, NE, on September 19, 1956, the son of Donald and Donna (nee Stull) Baumhover. He was a graduate of Lincoln Way Central High School. He was formerly employed with Caterpillar and was self-employed as a skilled tile worker. Tony was a kind and gentle man who lived life the way he wanted. He was a man of few words and a great friend. Everything he did, he did it well. He enjoyed spending his time outdoors; traveling, boating, camping, hiking, always taking the “scenic route” with his “boys” “Bandit” and “Mr. Purrrcy” by his side.
