PLATTSBURGH - Anthony E. (Tony) Linck, 85, of 8 Bushey Boulevard, Plattsburgh, died Sunday, Dec. 5, 2004, at the CVPH Medical Center following a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
He was born in Constableville, N.Y., on Jan. 28, 1919, the son of Anthony A. and Clara J. (Schwenk) Linck.
Tony married Agnes Marie Denicore on April 10, 1950, at St. Peter's Church in Plattsburgh. Marie died March 18, 2004.
Two great loves of his life were flying and photography. He took his first flying lesson in 1939 and subsequently owned several planes including a Swift, a Mooney and a Mooney Super 21 which bore the registration N900TL (for Tony Linck). He held a commercial pilot's license, an instrument rating, a multi-engine rating and a glider ticket. Tony was a Life Magazine staff photographer from 1945 through 1954 during which time his assignments included an assignment to the European Theater toward the end of World War II and a month in South America photographing the length of the Amazon River in color from it's source in the Andes. He left Life Magazine to become a freelance photographer specializing mainly in aircraft and industrial photography. He had more than 100 covers on flying magazines and covered many shuttle launches at Cape Canaveral for Time, Inc. His favorite shot was one showing the towers of Manhattan pushing up above the soft, gray billowing mist.
Survivors include one sister, Isabella Linck of Lowville; one brother and sister-in-law, Harold and Shirley Linck of Boonville, N.Y., and their daughter, Valerie; a sister-in-law, Elizabeth Denicore Kelly of Plattsburgh; and two special friends, James Holahan of Saddle River, N.J., and Rob Mathewson of Leonia, N.J.
He was predeceased by his wife, Marie; his parents; and a sister, Elizabeth Hoag.
Calling hours will be held on Thursday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the R.W. Walker Funeral Home in Plattsburgh. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at St. John's Church in Plattsburgh. Burial will follow in St. Peter's Cemetery.
