Tony Dusatko

Alan Anthony Dusatko, known affectionately as Tony, passed away peacefully on September 13, 2024. Born on March 24, 1945, to Ann K. Pedersen Dusatko and Alan A. Dusatko in Columbus, Nebraska. Tony lived a life marked by love, generosity, and a passion for helping others.

He is preceded in death by his parents Ann and Alan, and nephew Max Dusatko.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Jo Dusatko; son Adam and his wife, Amye; granddaughter Kaylee; grandson Arie; and sisters Patricia Dusatko and Ann Marie Whitten, along with many other extended family members and friends who cherished him deeply.

Tony met the love of his life while they attended college, marrying Jo on August 5, 1967, in Lytton Iowa. His warm spirit and ability to connect with anyone made him a beloved figure; to know him was to love him.

Tony began his career as an English teacher at Omaha South High School, where he led the Drama Department and produced notable productions such as Fiddler on the Roof and Cactus Flower. However, he discovered his true passion in sales. In 1974, he joined IBM, before later moving to Compugraphics and ultimately enjoying a successful 30-year tenure with Agfa, earning numerous awards, including many Presidential award. After retiring, his love for work led him to Kodak, where he dedicated another 17 years on the west coast.

A proud Shriner and Masonic, Tony was known for his selflessness, contributing to many organizations, most notably Alcoholics Anonymous, where his influence undoubtedly touched countless lives. He had a deep appreciation for classic cars and motorcycle rides and loved God, his family, and the Huskers (GBR)!

Tony never met a stranger and will be deeply missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
