Tony was and still is a wonderful father in-law who was very kind,caring and funny. His love for music, Italian food and clothes was something that I always admired about him as he was the smartest and most stylish man I have met. He is so loved by his family as Tony so loved his family in return. I will miss our conversations around the price of shopping and British government. You will be missed but never forgotten at 144 Nottingham Road. England. My heart is saddened that you will no longer be around to talk but I know you will be in spirit. May you rest in peace Tony. My thoughts are with my darling Saul, Barbara and Joanne today not forgetting all other family members. ❤️

To the Mack family, I’m proud to have had many a passionate conversation via WhatsApp about Jazz, Soul and the Blues with Tony. Tony’s insight and knowledge has definitely inspired my love of music and I will miss seeking Tony’s approval of a new artist or tune. Tony’s commentary on the world and the problems within it always prompted a discussion between us, and the time zone never stopped us having an engaging chat, or exchanging thoughts and ideas. I have always felt a strong kindness and warmth towards Tony, and his generosity has touched my life personally on many occasions. Whether that has been a heartfelt birthday message or a second hand vinyl LP sent via the web, his words and actions have always demonstrated Tony’s thoughtful and considerate nature. All the Mack family will remain in my thoughts today. Rest in peace Tony.

Even though we didn't know Tony in person, We do know Saul very well. and therefore feel we do know Tony through his son listening to stories that Saul shares. We are very sorry to hear such sad news and our hearts go out to all of the family in such difficult times. Love Tony & Christine
