      Anton "Tony" Ahrndt, 87, of Hooper died Tuesday, March 4, 2014, at his home.
      He was born Sept. 24, 1926, to Charles and Theresa (Kramer) Ahrndt in Scribner and grew up in rural Scribner. He enlisted in the United States Army in 1945. After being discharged from the army, he met and married Merrilyn Swanson on May 22, 1949. They made their residence in Hooper for their entire lives. For many years, Tony drove the gas truck for Farmers Co-op in Hooper. He then worked and retired from Fauss Construction.
      Tony and Merrilyn owned Ahrndt's Variety Store for many years. He also loved construction, especially remodeling their own home. He was always willing to help anyone else with odd jobs. He loved fishing and his dog, Clyde. Tony loved spending time with family and friends, taking his family on vacations where many happy memories were made. He served on the Hooper Volunteer Fire Department, was an active member of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and a member of Faith Methodist Church of Hooper.
      He was a loving husband, father and grandfather and a jokester to all.
