Just learnt of Tony's passing. I had some business interactions with him very early on in 2004-07. I remember Tony as someone with a big heart, friendly, positive, achiever and full of beans. Very sad to hear that he is gone.

Private and confidential: Tony was a great friend of mine when I was young. He changed the trajectory of my life. I think about him often. He was a great man. I have many stories about him. I knew him for some years as well as anyone can know someone. Since his death I have also spoken to many of his colleagues, friends and very close friends. If any of his daughters would like to talk to me about him and who he really was then they should contact me. sounderthanadolphin@yahoo.co.uk 07984680005. X

Just found out about Tony’s death and am in shock. He was one of my best friends at Cheadle Catholic Primary in the 1970s. He contacted me decades later and we became good friends again. We had some differences but I loved him and I hope he me. Huge fun. Huge brain. Driven. Kind. I’m so sad.
