SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
“I knew Anthony a little at University, but got to know him when Nick and my son Joseph were in Kindergarten afterschool program together. They then played hockey together for years often playing on the same team. Tony(as I then knew him) and I had many wonderful conversations. He always showed his committment to his parents and siblings and talked about his love for Tilting. He had great admiration and love for Frances and his children. He was so proud of them.
Tony was well read and always had something of interest to talk about. He had so many heart warming stories. I never met a kinder and more positive person.
I'm certain he will rest in peace.” -

“To: Anthony's family and extended family. My sincere condolences to you all at this difficult time. As I read messages posted on Facebook, I realize how highly Anthony was regarded by his former students and the people of Tilting. I feel that I have gotten to know Anthony over the past couple of years on Facebook. We have exchanged messages and commented on each other's pictures. Anthony has often responded to my queries and questions about things that happen in Tilting. I will miss the contact I have had with him over the past couple of years. May he rest in peace.
