ANTHONY (TONY) EDWARD PURVIS

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

• I met Tony while working at Princess Auto many years ago. He was a very generous person with a great sense of humor. We would occasionally get together with a small group of friends for dinners/drinks, and it was always a great time. He would spoil us with his homemade wine at Christmas, which was always appreciated. Even though I had not seen him for a few years, he was always in my thoughts. I'll never forget when he ordered a "Dark Rum & Coke" one day @ Olive Garden and I thought he said "Dr Demento." We had a good laugh, and I never let him forget it. Sincerest Condolences to his wife, Kary and the rest of his family and friends. Heaven has gained an angel. Rest in Peace Tony. You will be missed. - Posted by: Estelle Paquette (Friend) on: Oct 17, 2025

• Tony was my closest friend in Winnipeg sharing both British and Military back grounds. As a retiring Bandmaster of the Royal Green Jackets I met Tony who had connections with the Winnipeg Rifles, Westwood and North-winds community Bands in 2000. Tony was involved also with the German Band and was later very busy playing trumpet for all the groups. He had the ability to organize any challenge before him- I could never say no when Tony asked you to do something. He was respected by all. Tony had a vision for the future and saw all of his projects succeed . After moving to Calgary I kept in touch with Tony, who kept me up to date with all the latest stories from Winnipeg. Tony will be missed by all that met him. Thank you for being part of my life. Michael Scholfield. - Posted by: Michael SCHOLFIELD (Close friend) on: Oct 15, 2025
