Oh Tony where do I start! We first met when I started my first job at the chinese! You were there every Saturday at five to five without fail at the door with your dog and a fag in your hand! Haha always getting me in trouble for being late. I then went on to my next job and a few years later there you were again! As soon as I heard you had moved in, I came straight over to see ya and I remember you saying how long it had been since you last had chinese. The following Saturday I got the beef chow miens in and we sat in the garden having a good old chin wag about life. You were such a cheeky man with a great sense of humour and the love you had for your family was just so lovely to see! I’m going to miss Tony. Love Sarah Xxx

In the words of you Grandad “she always tells me she loves me she does” that I did, that I do and that I will forever. I think every single day about all the times we’ve had together, all the catch ups we’ve had over a cheeky fag, ranting about life and how hard your days been ( sat in the garden ) haha. Mainly over the last few years of seeing, visiting you and bonding with you like I should have had in my first years of life, really just made me realise how alike we are and just where my cheekiness and honesty originated from. Oh and I can never forget the STUBBORNNESS. I’ve never met a prouder man than you grandad, I cherish every moment I had with you and I promise you will never be forgotten. Until we meet again fella, love you always, Tash x

To my wonderful Mr Tony You were the sunshine in my days at work, we laughed we shared memories and we cried(through laughter) We had the best times while you were at barking. You left but then you came back again. You always called me "my abs" I only allowed the very close ones to call me "abs" You left Barking and I came to visit you loads in our other home in Felixstowe, we spoke at least 4 times a week on the phone. Then Covid hit and it stopped my visits, but we still had our phone calls, towards the end you got a little muddled but in the end you still said is that "My abs" The day I found out you had gained your wings broke my heart, I cried buckets. I will never forget our memories, our laughter, our cuddles and our friendship. Fly high Mr Tony.. See you in the other side one day.. Love you always Abbe xx
