Tony was an exceptional man, full of life, warmth and energy. It was impossible not to like him.
He gave generously of his time, money, energy to those in need; used his intelligence and ingenuity to achieve positive results for others. Had a huge capacity for work and was a brilliant chef, manager and writer.
We will miss him greatly.
