HARDWICK: Anthony (Tony) John Molleur was born June 26, 1968, in Hardwick. Tony passed away at Copley Hospital in Morrisville, on June 21, 2020, after a 2 year period of declining health.

Tony spent his childhood growing up in Stannard, Vt., with his "almost twin" brother, Dana (they were born 11 months apart) and many cousins and friends. They spent time riding bikes, fishing, playing baseball, exploring, snowmobiling and just enjoying the advantages of growing up in rural Vermont. He attended school in Hardwick, but left to start his life of hard work as a very young man. Tony was strong, smart and took pride in a good job at whatever work he was doing; whether it was line-clearing, logging, working at farming or just projects at home. His relaxation was simple. Playing with his kids when they were young, cruising with them on back roads with the radio turned to 80's and 90's music or spending time with the animals he loved. Especially, "Pooper" the dog or " Mufasa", the cat.  He was also, a gifted artist whose caricatures and pictures decorate his family's walls and refrigerators. Tony's early relationship with Kim Durant gave him his children, Britney and Travis Molleur and a special step-daughter, Jessica DeGoosh Cross. In later years, he married Linda Mason Wills. They lived in Stannard and Rockingham, where their combined families made for a busy household of Britney, Travis and Brandy, Travis (Hoot) and Dustin (Bart) Wills. A few years later, Lucas Wills, Brandy's son, joined them. When Tony and Linda broke up, he moved back to Hardwick and 13 years ago he married Rossie Clark Molluer.
