Antonio was so easy to love ... He was my wonderful neighbour for 10 years and we spent many hours talking about gardens [he was an expert with a very green thumb !!] and Life, apple trees, God, family, and how much he missed Emilia. He was a very generous man, with a heart of gold. He kept a keen eye on "activity" in our shared back lane and I always felt grateful for his "fatherly" care. I will miss him with all my heart. Rest in peace Tony ... God and Emilia will be so happy to see you and hold you close again ! - Posted by: Sandi Cain (Friend and neighbour) on: Mar 08, 2012
