I had the pleasure of knowing Tony for many many many years. He truly was a great man and taught me so many important life lessons. If it wasn't for him I would had the pleasure of learning curling. He was a generous man, and was always willing to listen. He was one of the toughest person I had the pleasure on knowing. His many years of fighting his kidney problems. He is the only man I knew who make his wife wait to deliver a baby, until he was done working in the basement of his house. There are too many great stories that include Tony. His family is so lucky to call him a father, grandfather and husband. He surely would have no problems taking a nickel from ya for winning a bet. Even when he was sick, he always had a smile on his face. You truly will be miss, thank you for all you have shared with me and showed me over all these years. All the best to you, and I feel better knowing you are looking down on me. Big hugs to Linda, and her family. - Posted by: Big Bertha (Friend) on: Sep 30, 2014

My deepest sympathies to Linda and family. I knew Tony as a teenager growing up in St. James when we hung out with a wonderful group of friends and even than I knew what a special guy Tony was. He was kind, sweet and funny. Rest in peace Tony - Posted by: judith horsfall jackson (teenage friend) on: Sep 27, 2014

Remembering Tony's calming and caring way of introducing Bill to life on dialysis. Tony gave to us the one thing we needed to continue living... "hope". My sincere sympathy to Linda and family. - Posted by: Joanne Brennan (Widow of Bill (2008), fellow dialysis patient) on: Sep 27, 2014
