May I presume, on behalf of Tony`s family, to express their gratitude to all who attended Tony`s memorial at Reigate, some having travelled considerable distance. Those who, due to particular and personal circumstances, were unable to be there, rest assured you were there in spirit. The occasion was testament to how well Tony was regarded by his friends and those who knew him. Family and friends giving readings, memories and anecdotes as well as singers and musicians contributing was the perfect setting. We wish to join his family in saying a big thank you to all for making the afternoon such a memorable occasion.

John.

Would love to be there, but not possible- am sure he will have a fine send off- knew I couldn't make it, nor the funeral, but hope my obit for the current 'Living Tradition' mag may compensate just a little- best regards to all at the wake
