Long ago, Antony was born, in the town of Ernakalum, in Kerala, India. He was one of six brothers & four sisters - the quietest, yet the most free-spirited child of the large family. As a child, Antony attended St. Albert’s School, where years later, his two sons would also study. From his youth Antony was bestowed with the Innate Gift, of being able to fix things -- becoming a “Jack of All Trades”. Blessed with creative hands-on skills, he designed and made many things. Antony’s natural talents trickled down to his two sons, who followed in their father’s footsteps. After all, they had learned from the best… When not working on various projects, Antony was known for being religious, piously making pilgrimages with family & friends… His favorite saint was the venerable: St. Varghese, aka St. George: The Soldier Who Slayed the Dragon. Just as his patron saint did, Antony faithfully protected his loved ones, as he was above all else, family-oriented… Indeed, friends & family remember Antony as a gracious man, given to giving. Antonya and his adoring wife, Mary hosted many parties throughout the years. At some of their gatherings, they tuned into The World Wrestling Federation, a showdown of which Antony was a die-hard fan! These were merely Antony’s simple moments of fun. As Antony was himself a simple man, who wrestled with many hardships, first leaving his comfortable life in Kerala, India, to come to America. Yet, Antony came to love his new adopted country, where he persevered for years through intense toiling To Pave A path of hope, for his two beloved sons! Through his hard years, of selfless sacrifice, every hurdle was overcome! Antony is survived by his faithful, beloved wife of 59 years, Mary Elamana, by his two utterly devoted sons: Roy Elamana and Prasad Elamana; as well as their wives whom he saw as his own daughters, Priya Elamana & Miriam Elamana; and by his precious grandchildren, whom he so Dearly Cherished: Maryanne & Matthew Elamana.
