Your gift of friendship and your sharing of your various musical talents at St Michaels Remuera and St Patricks Cathedral have for so long enriched the Liturgy of the Church. Rest in peace now Tony and carry on your 'disagreements' with Mons Arahill.

Tony, you were a kind and wonderful brother & uncle. We have many happy memories of family lunches and events filled with love and laughter, all these traits we inherited from our parents who put family above all else.

We will miss you dearly, but know that you are at peace and will now be sitting around another table with all of those who have gone before, no doubt wearing one of your fabulous suits and taking centre stage as the life of the party.

Anita, Frazer, Emma, Mark, Lila & Aron.
