My sincere condolences to you Shirley and to your children, grandchildren and extended family members. My late husband Len and I got to know Tony at the seniors card club at Holy Eucharist. Tony was always most welcoming to new comers. I hope for all of you, peace will come early and your reflections of the wonderful man he was, will bring a smile to your faces, and a warmth in your hearts. RIP Tony.
