Calligraphic 'swirl' motif

Peacefully passed away aged 68 on June 28th 2024 after a wonderful life.

Tony was born in 1956 in West Ham within the sound of the Bow Bells of Mary-Le- Bow church in London, making him a very proud Cockney.

He lived in the East End of London for many years before following his family to the 'new town' of Harlow, and in 2003 moved to and settled in Hinckley". 

His first job was as an apprentice at Tate & Lyle on the Thames before qualifying as a carpenter. 
He worked hard in varied roles including the railways, lorry driving, and shop fitting, all of which meant he travelled to many places around the world which he loved.

After retiring, Tony became a volunteer for several organisations including FareShare, and enjoyed his passions of fishing, woodturning, watching football (especially his beloved West Ham), rugby, reading, and meeting up with family and friends.

His farewell celebration will be on Tuesday 30th July 2024 at 11:30 at Great Glen Crematorium, London Road, Great Glen, Leicester LE8 9DJ. 

Tony loved his bright shirts, so please wear traditional attire and add a splash of colour.

At Tony's request, no flowers please; donations to Macmillan or LOROS very welcome at the farewell celebration or via this page. 

Beloved husband, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, godfather, and great friend to many. Tony will be forever treasured in our hearts.
