To Ivy, Michael and Hazel and families. So sorry to hear of Tony’s passing. It’s been so long since we’ve seen you folks and we have such fond memories of our many visits together out in Grimsby with you and your parents. Always admired Tony as a multitalented individual and for his dedication to the scouting movement. We were always amazed at the depth and breadth of his knowledge and interests particularly of the natural world around us. He will be missed.
I worked with Tony at the Region for many years. I’m very sorry to hear that he has passed away. I would like to express my sincere condolences to your family.
