Tony, it was impossible to avoid your wonderful spirit touching you. What an amazing and unforgettable husband, father, friend and man of inspiration. the world may have lost an angel, however heaven has had to make extra room for the big heart of a special angel. You will always live on in the hearts of all you touched. From the time I met you, I've never felt like I haven't known you all my life. Whilst you may have left a crater-sized hole behind, we will fill it paying forward every one of your blessings. Cant await til we meet again on the other side..... Namaste

To me little mate mouse (Tony) mates for 63 years the world will be worse off for loosing a man like him cheers burny

Farewell to our old friend Tony. Great memories of our early days in Auckland, especially athletic trips to Tauranga and the Mount then in between the years at Wright/Murdoch gatherings. Always full of fun and happy to renew old connections. Remembering you with smiles on our faces and hugs in our hearts. Margaret & Murray Craig and Bruce Ramsay
