My Dear Francie, Michelle, Olivia, Thomas, Chris, Brent, Carolyn, Janine, Phil, Annie, Graeme, Maria & your beautiful Joycie & Vanner families. So so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Anthony.
Please know, you're all in my thoughts and prayers and I send you much love and strength for the days ahead to help heal the unbelievable sorrow I know you're all enduring.
I'll always fondly remember Anthony a gentle giant with the cutest smile and the most beautiful soul and will forever cherish the memories growing up with you all and more recently when I came home when dad was unwell around Xmas 2016, and Anthony, Michelle, Olivia and Thomas came to visit us in Waitara as you all visited too on another day. We had a most wonderful time catching up and Dad was over the moon to see you all and he had a great time talking, stirring and teasing Thomas and Olivia, he was tickling Thomas and there were lots of giggles and smiles. The memory of this special day will live on in my heart always. I'm sorry I cannot be with you tomorrow but I'm with you in spirit. RIP my beautiful cousin, forever in my heart, Polly

Dear Auntie Francie, Chris, Annette, Graeme, Carolyn, Janine, Michelle, Olivia, Thomas and all of our family and extended family.. our sincerest condolences.
We are all heartbroken cuzzie Anthony to lose you this week and I'm so sorry we can't be with you and everyone tomorrow to say goodbye. I will always remember your kind, gentle way and ready smile as we all hung out as cuzzie kids either at the farm for a roast or our house for a roast or one of the many other shared family 'bring a plate' events. One of your friends mentioned on this guest book you singing the Court of King Caractacus, which made me laugh and then cry as I remember singing that at the top of our voices, with many other tunes with the Inglewood and Rahotu Joyces, very precious family times, laughing together and creating memories.
May you rest in peace dear Anthony, go well cuzzie.
Please say hi and send my love to my Dad and your Dad and Colin, four beautiful special men together again.
Thinking of you all from Melbourne and sending you strength tomorrow and in these coming weeks and months...

Have lots of memories of Anthony from school - how fast he could run with a bunch of girls chasing him, his signing in the school choir and being a good friend to everyone.

It is with deep sadness to learn that Anthony is no longer with us. I knew him from travelling days in the nineties and hold so many fun memories of him, a top fun guy who will be greatly missed. He is the only person I know who insisted everyone should know the words to The Court of King Caractacus, and took many hours on a trip in India ensuring I do so! To Michelle and family; my sincerest condolences.
