Anthony Pandol

Tony was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Bangor, Western Michigan. He was preceded in his passing by his mother, Lulu-1986, wives Shirley Ann (Huneycutt)-2000 & Barbara Ann (Horton)-2018. Tony is survived by his daughter, Debra Pandol-Slater of Fruitland Park, Fl., Michael Pandol, Orlando, Fl., Douglass Pandol of Eugene, Or., 7- grandchildren and 5-great grandchildren.

Tony raised his family in Portage and earned his Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Western Michigan.

He was a proud USAF Korean War veteran and a 50+ year law enforcement officer. He loved helping others and serving the community. From his service with the USAF Air Police to Michigan State Trooper, and his eventual retirement as the Assistant Chief of Police with the Portage Michigan Police, Tony loved being a policeman.

Tony retired to Florida in 1989 where he semi-continued his career in law enforcement as a reserve officer with the Mt. Dora, Fl Police Department and as a college professor, teaching & passing on his vast experience to the next generation of police officers throughout the Florida law enforcement community until his final retirement in 2017.

A devoted Christian, Tony was a caring & gentle soul who loved his family, painting & especially teaching bible lessons at his church, The First Christian Church of Leesburg, Fl.

Words cannot describe the positive, loving impact Tony had on our family and others. We will always be grateful for the many wonderful "good times" we had together and will miss him intensely.

Tony is to be interred at the Bushnell National Cemetery with military honors at a date to be announced.

We love and miss you Dad. Rest in peace, you've earned it.
