Dear Sal,Ant,Jen, Sharyn and extended family.

The Saint family are all thinking of you at this difficult and sad time, particularly with other loved ones passing away only recently.

We have fond memories of our uncle Tony. He was a bit of a character, energetic and sometimes cheeky.

Who could forget Uncle Tony on our tennis court at Lindfield. Every ball was hit at high speed. It was turned into a battle to see who could last!

Off the court he could be very kind and many years ago a friend and I dropped into the Coramendels where you were holidaying. Uncle Tony gave us a very warm welcome, made us a cooked breakfast, cleaned our dirty rental car and provided us with detailed trip plans. What more could you ask for. My fiend John was most impressed.

Love from Judith, Mark & Robyn, Mandy & David, Peter and Andrew.

Dear Ant,Sal,Jenny,Sharyn and your extended family.

We ( the Saint family) are all thinking of you at this difficult and sad time, particularly with our other loved ones passing away only recently.

Our uncle Tony was a bit of a character, an energetic and sometimes cheeky uncle. How could we forget his style on the tennis court at Lindfield. There was no such thing as a friendly match. It was more like a battle to see who would last.

I fondly remember a trip to NZ with a friend of mine from Australia. The Cooper family were holidaying at the Coramandels and we decided to pay a visit. Uncle Tony gave us a very warm greeting, made us a cooked breakfast, cleaned our dirty rental car and then we went surfing. I am sure he also gave us detailed trip plans.

We will always have a laugh and smile as we remember our vibrant and cheeky uncle Tony.

Love from Judith, Mark & Robyn, Mandy & David, Andrew and Peter.
