    As a member of the Caledon Seniors men’s golf, this is a very sad day for me and many others. We were also members of Caledon East United Church. Tony was so well liked, terrific sense of humour and I so loved being paired up with him on the golf course.
    My sincere condolences to Patricia and family, a true gentleman, Tony will certainly be missed by everyone.

    I briefly met Tony at our Wednesday golf outings, he was a delight to play with and a real gentleman. Of course I could not tell him that outright, him being from Newcastle and myself from Derbyshire. Once we got the ritualistic humour out of the way we got on well and kept the rest non-northern lot at bay.
    Sadly miss his humour and positive attitude, he left owing me a couple of “gimmee” putts but I’ll survive.
    My true condolences to all the family.

    Tony was the official weatherperson for the Caledon Seniors Men’s Golf Group. He wasn’t the forecaster but the guarantor that we would have good weather every Wednesday. He seldom failed – his save percentage was better than any NHL goalie. We rewarded him with a bottle of wine half way through the season to continue his magic and Tony loved this gesture and gushed as if he had been given a bottle of Dom Perignon. Now that he is in heaven he can speak personally to the Big Meteorologist and remind Her that we still need Tony days on Wednesdays.
    A beautiful soul has left us.

    Tony was a member of the Caledon Seniors Men’s Golf. Tony never had the longest ball, but invariably had the straightest. It was enjoyable to play in the same foursome as Tony. He had good humour and he was a gentleman.
    Tony was very involved the major renovations of the kitchen at Caledon East United Church. He was very knowledgeable in construction and renovations. His personality made the work very enjoyable. Thanks Tony. Our sympathies to Pat and family.

    Dear Pat and Family – We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Tony was such a great guy and he will leave an empty spot in our lives where we number our friends. We have so many happy memories of our times spent together golfing, playing cards and getting together at each others houses for incredible dinners. We will treasure even more the wonderful hand-crafted wooden gifts Tony honored us with. You had a long and beautiful life together, building and designing your unique homes. We hope that all of these great memories will be of some help in filling the void that this has left in your life. With love, Donna & Chuck Davies

    Tony was an interesting man, and the more I came to know him, the more interesting he became. An accomplished skier, scuba diver, dance instructor, wood worker, pool player ( although brother Ivan was the “shark”), golfer (a great playing partner as many have already attested), raconteur, humorist and bon vivant, Tony was always busy doing something or had an interesting story to tell. He will be sorely missed by all his golfing buddies. My sincerest condolences to Pat and family.
