It is with heartfelt sorrow that I have to say goodbye to an amazing colleague and friend. Tony was an amazing man full of love laughter and good humour. Most of all I will miss his daily texts of support and encouragement. Times ahead will be rough but I know that you will always be in my heart pushing me forward. I rest much easier knowing that in the end he was holding his beloved Liz’s hand and surrounded by family.
