Tony`s Place


Words can't discribe how much I miss you. I know I dont visit you very often but that doesn't mean that I'am not thinking of you. Because I think of you every minute of every day. Especially every night when I drive past you on the way home from work and think of all the precious times we spent together. It's just that it is so hard for me. They say it will get easier, but as time goes on I miss you more and more each day. I can only hope that one day we will be reunited. Love you always and forever your

Tony..... he was a great lad with a wicked sense of humour, and such a lust for life, my first meeting with tony was when I was 18 in a local pub,he had been smiling at me all night, when I got up to leave he said "you've forgotten something" so me being a true blonde, looked around on the seats for a brolly or something else I could have left, and couldnt find anything, I looked at him with a quizical look, and he says.... "me!"....from that night we became friends, and he constantly took the mick out of my name, but his humour was always so breath-taking,and I loved his serious side, when you could get him to be serious, he's so missed, and my love goes to his family, with my deepest respect and sympathy, not a day goes by when I dont think of him, godbless xxxx

Tony was a great friend to us and we had some great times together. we will neva forget christmas day night 2002.This is our greatest memory of tony. We had a house party and as always tony had the whole house full of people in histerics. He was walking around the living room with his jeans rolled up and one of our 70's wigs doin mad impressions of my next door neighbour after he had come to the door complaining. HAHA!!! tony, we miss you and you will always remain in our hearts. xxxxxx

Tony could get on with anybody; he had a good head on his shoulders and was so genuine. It’s hard to meet people that you feel you connect with really well but it seemed like Tony connected with everyone. When it called for it, his serious side would shine through to offer words of friendship and then he would lighten up the moment by calling you something totally random and daft. If I was doing something stupid Tony wouldn’t hold back and tell me to sort my life out and let me know how daft I was being. He lived life to the full, he was “one of the lads”. I have all kinds of memories of him and it’s hard to be sad when thinking about him because he was such a happy and energetic person. I remember the time he guided me back to a party on the phone because I got so drunk I didn’t know where I was. Walking to the turnpike most nights to meet the lads, and spend the night getting mortal, putting cheesy tunes on the juke box and playing pool. Floating the town in the 205 blasting “eye of the tiger” and shouting out the windows at all the birds. I didn’t see Tony on a regular basis for quite a while but he was a good mate, the type you could just ring out of the blue to go for a pint or a float, a friend for life. He was one of a kind and is truly missed and always remembered. Catch ya later boy!

I think of Tony constantly and always hear songs on the the radio that bring memories flooding back,like the times when he would dance around and do impressions of teachers and have us in stitches.I will never ever forget Tony he was one of a kind.Miss you loads mate x

I can't believe it's been almost two year now. I knew Tony for about 14 years, but just as Terry's little brother. I remember empathising and sticking up for him when Terry used to go all ‘big brother’ on him years ago. It was only really during 2003 that we spent more time together and became good friends, I wish it had been sooner, but now I’m glad I got the chance anyway. We made a few memories then that I treasure now, like him ‘smoking the doors off me’ at the karting track or us hosting the world’s most pathetic impromptu barbecue! I admired Tony for his bravery, selflessness and ever-present humour. I don’t know anyone he couldn’t raise a smile from. Kelly and me remember Tony often, occasionally with a tear, but always with a smile.
