Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

  • Rest well Tony - You were a prominent figure in our lives growing up, always smiling and such a huge help to our family. From yard work to wielding a chain saw in the bush to farming, bee keeping and such you made unpleasant tasks that much more bearable with your humor and happiness. The memories of our dear horse "Dolly" that we acquired from you are forever close to my heart - I'm not sure where you acquired her but she gave us Prince and many other sweet foals on the farm and years of great riding and wagon treks. I can still smell the smoky wood stove in your house, see all of the "ornaments" you had lined up on every shelf and window sill, your bountiful garden and collection of animals, dogs, cats, chicken, geese & more - never a dull moment and fond memories of a childhood enriched by your kind spirit and great sense of humor.
