Anthony Lines

April 19, 1931 - December 9, 2021

Anthony (Tony) Lines of Brick passed away quietly on December 9, 2021, with his family by his side. Born in Brooklyn, NY on April 19, 1931, Tony moved to Crete, Greece at the age of five with his parents. He was the eldest of 10 Tsourounakis children. Tony lived through the WWII German occupation of Crete and after the war returned to start a life in his home country at age 16. He then served in the US Army and quickly attained the rank of Staff Sergeant in the Korean War. His Army service remained a great point of pride throughout his life. Following his service, he had a 38-year career with the Bendix corporation at the Teterboro, NJ location. Tony was also one of the founding members of St. Barbara's Greek Orthodox Church and a long-time member of the American Legion Post 348 and VFW post 8867. Tony married Despina (Tina) Michalas in 1956 and they had two children Evangeline (Eva) & Peter (Pete). He moved to Brick, NJ in 1960 where he resided until his passing. Tony is survived by his daughter Eva and husband Fonda Chryssanthakopoulos, grandchildren Ana and her fiance, Joe Pinto, Georgette and her husband Seth, and great-grandchildren Hera and Wesley. He is also survived by son Peter and wife Sharon Lines, and grandchildren Anthony and Nicholas. Also survived by three of his siblings, his brother Pano and wife Eva Tsourounakis, his sister Manto and husband Christo Kalaitzidis, and his sister Amalia Daskalakis. Visiting will be Monday from 10:00am until 11:00am at St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church. Services will begin 11:00am at the Church with the burial to follow at Ocean County Memorial Park. Silverton Memorial Funeral Home 2482 Church Rd., Toms River is in charge of the arrangements. www.silvertonmemorial.com.
