On behalf of Tony's family, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who extended their love, support, and presence during this incredibly difficult time. Losing Tony so suddenly has left a huge void in our lives and hearts. Yet, the comfort we received from our family, wonderful friends, and caring community has been a tremendous source of strength. To those who attended the funeral, sent messages, or offered prayers - thank you. Your kind words and gestures reminded us that we are not alone in our grief. We are especially grateful to those who brought food, sent flowers, or lent a helping hand. Your generosity and kindness brought comfort to our hearts. A special thank you to our relatives and friends who stood by us, shared in our sorrow, and helped with arrangements. Your time, effort, and unwavering support meant the world to us. With heartfelt thanks, Sue, Layne, Anna, Greg, Ali, Hayden, Craig, Rebecca and families.
