We are so very sorry to hear that Tony has passed away. Our sincere condolences to the whole family. We met Tony at the Family History Centre where we both went to do genealogy. Rest in peace, Tony. You will be missed. It was a delight to have known you.
Tony was such a wonderful neighbor, my family got really close to him. My children adored him and are devasted by his passing. Best memory for them is kit kats! For me, it was his kind eyes and vast knowledge of my viking heritage! We miss him tremendously and send our condolences. Such a tremendous loss and what a legacy he leaves! so lucky to have had him in our lives

Our thoughts are with you in the loss of your Dad, Father-in-law, Grampa and so much more. He will be missed
To my beautiful godparents Aunt Helene and Uncle Bryan my deepest condolences on the loss of amazing Dad whom we so loved. I will forever be grateful for Opa’s history stories, importance of good footwear, treats and kindness over my lifetime. I’m so lucky to have known such a resilient remarkable person who my husband and kids also loved. May your memories bring you comfort as you remember and grieve together. With Love
I worked with Tony for years at South St. Hospital. He was the kindest, most gentle person. Always took time to tell a story or two. He loved his canoeing trips with his sons. He even came in for a visit or two after he retired. The worl will be missing a beautiful soul
I remember Tony from my radiology days at Victoria Hospital (South Street). He was a wonderful teacher and sweet man. Rest in peace Tony.
