TONY CROPO Peacefully on July 15, 2007, after 15 years of fighting brain cancer, Tony passed away at the age of 64. He leaves to mourn his wife Pat; sons, Stephen (Richelle) and Michael (Cathy); daughter Alison; mother Brenda; brothers, Ed (Patti) and Tom (Carol and Reid); sister Janice; his grandchildren, Katie and Matthew, and cousins and many friends. He was predeceased by his father Joe and brother Peter. Tony was born in England and came to Canada in 1946 when he was three years old. He lived in Winnipeg until moving to British Columbia in 1973 where he had his own business with health foods. Tony enjoyed his music, playing and teaching guitar and sax in his early years. Tony was very active in the Brain Cancer Clinic in British Columbia. He ran five marathons after being diagnosed. You were a wonderful and loving son and brother. We will all miss you terribly Tony but know you are at peace now. Mum and family

Sorry for your loss. From an old neighbour when he lived on College Avenue. We started the first band, playing socials and dances in our teen years. Missed him when he moved to BC. Still enjoy playing music. - Posted by: Lawrence (Larry) Kulczycki (Old neighbour) on: May 27, 2016
