Kettle Falls Hotel

[guts]

Just a short note to anybody that frequents Kettle Falls over the past couple of years and had the opportunity to meet or know Tony Hauser (Tone-Dawg's).

Tony was one of the hotels bartenders, and last year he was a very effective fishing guide out of the hotel.

Tony died as a result of a horrible snowmobile accident this past Saturday night
he was only 27 years young. His funeral will be at Kabetogama Thur. Jan. 8, please say a prayer for Tony and his family.

Tone-Dawg's was a very active sportsman in this area that loved fishing, helping others and snowmobiling, he will be missed by everyone who knew him. God Bless You All.
Guts.

Im very sorry to hear this. I did not know Tony or his family. As he is a respected person and fellow fiserman i will say a prayer for him and his family. God bless them all. Great people leave smiles on the faces of their peers when they are remembered. Im sure Tony had this quality. My prayers are with him and everyone that cared for him.

What a Bummer - Be careful out there folks.

What did Tony look like. I am wondering if I had a few beers with him last summer when I was there.

I was wondering if anyone knew him because his funeral was listed in the star tribune and I was shocked at his age.. 27 is so young to go..but it sounds like he was a great guy and I will pray for him and his family.

Tony was a little over 6' tall good build light brown hair and an above the lip only mustache. He worked at the hotel guiding and or bartending 5-6 days a week.
He was just a great kid, who's life was snuffed to soon. God Bless, Guts

Very, very sad to hear of this tradgedy!!
I met Tony at Kettle falls this last August while staying there and fishing rainy for a few days with a group. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Xplorer

Guts - Did he move to the area from the cities (or somewhere down there) in the last few years and have his own boat, a big white runabout - I think, at Kettle Falls?

If it is the same guy I am thinking about - I drank with him for a few hours and we had a real good time BSing about duck hunting in North Dakota. And he gave me a ride down to the dock when he realized I had a food cooler in my boat. By the time we got there it was to late. The bear had already had a party!

I am pretty sure his name was Tony - but I am not real good remembering names.

Again - what a bummer. I have personally known 2 other guys that have died on sleds. It happens so fast and is so hard on everyone.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOLKS

Dr. Bob.
Yep, that sounds like Tony, he was an avid hunter as well as fisherman, and always helping people.
They moved to the area in 1997, and he worked at the hotel for two years.

He was laid to rest yesterday, and he will be missed by all people who knew him. The Island he was killed on is named Bittersweet, it now has a whole knew meaning.

God Bless, guts...

[Dr. Bob]

Thank you guts. How sad.

God Bless
