FROM TONY’S FAMILY

Thank you

We’d like to thank everyone for sending their well wishes. We have been warmed by the messages of love and support from so many corners of Tony’s life.

Thanks to all who shared their time in person or online to celebrate the life of Tony. We know many travelled a great distance to be at the service and we feel so touched by your efforts.

We hope that through the service and this website we have been able to showcase Tony’s life and his love for it.

We’d also like to sincerely thank Elizabeth’s brother Jeff and his daughters Lisa and Gemma for their help in organising an event when we had no idea what we were doing. Your patience, assistance and straightforward guidance is so appreciated and we will always remember it.

If you have any stories or memories of Tony that you’d like to share with us, please send them. We’d love to hear them, they will never grow old.

Elizabeth, Rebecca and Sean.
