Didn't know the fella but knew of the tremendous work he put in for REMF - one of life's good guys. May he rest in peace and condolences to all his family
I never knowingly met the man, but his face is not unfamiliar to me. Someone whose passing can provoke such a volume of heartfelt responses in such a short space of time must have been a very special person. Thank you for all that you did sir.
My thoughts and condolences go out to his family, friends and colleagues.
I only had the pleasure of meeting Tony once when he gently 'twisted' my arm to do some sponsorship for the last REMF golf day when a sponsor pulled out last minute. In a few short hours spent chatting to him around the course, and gratefully accepting his tips on how to try and not hit it of bounds on most holes are hours always to be remembered with a smile. I hope the film crew who were there from Latest TV are able to edit the footage they took that day to make it a joint REMF and Tony tribute as he smiled and joked for the camera throughout despite knowing of his illness and the dark days ahead. A truer gent and more decent man you could never hope to meet. Tony and people like him are genuinely rare people so my thoughts to his family at their loss and all whose lives he touched in so many ways. RIP.
I didn’t know Tony but knew of him and his charitable work through NSC, recognise his face from the photo’s on here. Thoughts are with his family, friends and all who knew him, RIP.
After years of near misses, I finally met Tony at this year's REMF quiz and he was everything our prior communications had suggested he would be - bright and charming. It was easy to see why the REMF had done so well under his stewardship.
I never made it along to one of Tony's excellent golf days and today I feel very regretful about that.
Clearly "one of us" in so many ways, he will be desparately missed by many.
If there's anything I, or NSC, can do to help his family and friends, please do ask.
