    Tony to a T.
    We all have to go to his funeral because "It'd be rude not to".
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    I dont remember when I met Tony. He is one of those guys that has just always been around. I can say without a doubt that for all his stories that started and morphed into some irrelevant side tracked other story you had to like the guy. And it is outstanding the outright courage and determination that he showed on a day to day basis facing a unfair and vicious diease that has taken so many. It was a few weeks ago where we thought he would lose the fight but in true Tony fashion he stuck his finger up and did a big Fuck you to cancer and waited till he was good and ready.

    I would say rest in peace but quite frankly, I cant see Tony staying quiet long enough for anyone up there to have any peace now............


    All said and done, I can imagine Tony sitting up there right now going... Oh well, .. cant complain.. could be worse....

    RIP to a real trooper.
    Excellent, Tony summed up perfectly in a few sentences.
    Oh bugger

    Holy crap! Was only chatting him a few months ago! Rest in peace Tony! Condolences to his good lady & the rest of the family. Twas a pleasure to know you Tony. You were always a friendly, happy fella with nothing but a nice word to say. My best memories of Tony was at my backpackers lodge, had a bunch of KB'ers staying during a rally, later in the evening after many an ale or two, his good lady picked up a large inflatable ball & drop kicked it across the lounge, it bounced off the wall & took out an entire table of empties, the place went deafly silent as everyone looked at me for my reaction. I just casually looked over & calmly said "well I aint cleaning it up!"

    So true, Tony to a tee lol
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Meet Tony on the Newbie ride up North seemed like a top bloke with an awesome sense of humour. I'm sure he will be missed. RIP

    We can't make it to the funeral but will have Tony in our thoughts. Always enjoyed riding and hanging out with him at cafe stops. Ride safe tomorrow those who are heading there.

    Damn! I just found the thread too late, the funeral is taking place as I write.

    My thoughts are with Tony and his family, while everybody knew this day was coming that won't make it any easier. I don't think I'll watch either of those video clips for a while yet if that's OK?

    It was indeed!
    Good to catch up with folk who we haven't seen in ages too. Funerals are great for that!

    Tony's sense of humour and knack of having the last word was in full swing yesterday...Mom bore the brunt of it, but it is her story, so I will let her tell it.

    Yes a fitting send off for an extraordinary man.

    Lovely to see you guys again albeit briefly, you'll never know how much I needed that hug.

    A day of deep reflection for me and many others.I've had a quick scan through the numerous messages full of sympathy, empathy, support and positivity he sent for the bride and me in his final weeks, you'd have thought the man wasn't going through any trials of his own.

    One of the most selfless cheeky little scoundrels I've ever had the pleasure to know. Love ya Tone, tata mate x
    Oh bugger
