Sorry to hear of Tony's passing. Tony and I were business partners in the early 1980s, we started the SignShop together. Tony was an exceptionally quick brush letterer particularly when it came to Supermarket price cards which he did weekly for Daltons.

Deepest sympathy Moira. You would have been one of the first we meet when we shifted to New Plymouth - probably 40 years ago. Sorry we couldn't be with you today. You will have some lovely memories of time with Tony. Take care . Denise & John Clark
