Tributes

Farewell to the cheeky sweet lad, loved so much by his family. His likeness to his dad as he grew older is uncanny. So beautiful to see all the tribute photos of Tony with his family and friends. Much love from me to you all at this sad sad time.xxLisa

Tony's sense of humour was great. He was animated and eager to remind me that I came from and went to school at Mt. Piggs (Biggs).
