Rest in peace, legendary friend and mentor through life. Tony took me on as a 17 year old idiot, straightened me up, bought me a suit and sent me to university. I credit him for putting me on the right path in life when it could easily have gone a very different way. His humour and energy were boundless, his smarts were enormous, his heart was even bigger. The world has lost a legend.
