Thank you Bill, and all Tony's colleagues at SIG, that's a lovely message. He would have been very proud to have known that. Such a terrible tragedy. So close to the vaccine too, and he was being so careful. Yes the old dodgy knee was a problem, but he was hopefully having that sorted quite soon and was planning 3 months in Oz travelling, and stopping to stay with Chris, his twin en route in Thailand. So sad, but your kind words are appreciated by all of his family. Thank you all.xx Roxanne Tony's sister

Tony, I'm writing on behalf of your ex-SIG colleagues and friends. We were all devastated to hear of your passing. Like thousands of others you had so many more years left and so much to look forward to before the pandemic. I contacted some ex-customers of ours who were equally gutted to hear the news. As a colleague you were always incredibly reliable (aside from a couple of "dodgy knee" episodes!) which I always put down to your military service. You were a big part of that SIG family we had back in the day and we're all so desperately sad that you won't enjoy the many more years of retirement you deserved. We'll remember you as the kind, generous Tony we had the honour to work with for all of those years. We'll particularly remember you on those really cold mornings when we used to have a sweep to see how many times you'd mention your knees before you left the yard! Deepest condolences to your family from all of us. Bill

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Anthony. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
