Haven, Faye Kolin of Massachusetts, Sally Kolin of Chicago, and nephews: Allen Schott of Meriden, Robert Kolin of Virginia, David Schott of New Mexico, John Kolin, Donna Kolin, both of California, and Jay Kolin of Chicago. He also leaves behind great-nieces: Katey and Melinda, and great-nephews: Peter and Kevan. He will also be missed by many great-great-nieces.
Anthony was predeceased by his many siblings: Stanley Kolin, Mary Kolin, John Kolin, Veronica Kolin, Joseph Kolin, Helen Dray, Edith Schott Rouleau, and Nellie Kolin.
