To the Keene family
Its so sad to read if the passing of Tony. I remember Tony when i was much younger coming to my dads house (Graeme Reardon) learning the rules etc to become a cricket umpire. Dad was so proud to be able to teach others to become umpires. Dad will be up in heaven waiting for Tony so they can proudly step out and umpire some games together again.
Rest easy now Tony.
