Tony was a fun and loving uncle to my children and a help to me as an artist, he would make all my picture frames for exhibitions. He helped Tom with alterations to our house and babysat the children whenever needed.
I was introduced to the music of Neil Young through Tony and I came to love Neil Young songs too, playing them at his nephews’ naming ceremony.
I remember how long it took Tony to get out the door whenever he left our house… Goodbye, bye now, okay I’ll see you, bye then, goodbye.
Goodbye, Tony, goodbye.
