My deepest sympathy is being sent to the family. I will remember Tony as a wonderful man and friend.
My deepest condolences to Margaret, Eileen, Garry, Samantha, Margaret, Jim and the boys. God needed an angel, and for sure for the choir. I will always remember his remarkable sense of humour!
My condolences to Margaret and family. I can say that Tony was an honest hard working man who had a sense of humor and had a very special place in his heart for his wife and family.
On behalf of the Knights of Columbus – St. Charles Garnier Council, of which Tony was a member, belated condolences to Tony’s family.
I am so sorry on seeing this and wish to send my belated heart felt condolences to you all.
