Tony was happily married to Sally, and a loving father to Arran and Georgia. Shortly before he became ill, he became a grandad to Leo, who he truly adored. He was well known throughout Ipswich, due to his welding trade. He was hardworking, kind, friendly and would do anything for anyone. He was "Simply The Best". Tony had many close friends, who were very supportive. He enjoyed spending time with his family, with some of his best memories spend on holiday. Tony was diagnosed with terminal cancer on the 1st of July 2016, of which he bravely fought, up to his last week which was spent in the St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich. The tribute fund is in place for anyone who has fundraised for the hospice, in memory of Tony.
