Sue Hesketh-Jones

Tony was one of those rare people who always had time for others. A truly kind soul, he made everyone feel seen and safe, whether it was through a quiet conversation or one of his many selfless acts. He was always there.

He gave me away on my wedding day — more nervous than I was – hands trembling, heart full. And although life has changed since then, I will always be grateful for the love and care he showed that day, and so many others.

To Olivia and Grace, he was the kind of uncle every child should have – the one who took them to Fareham Fire Station, dressed them in fire outfits, and let them shimmy down the poles like real little firefighters. He packed and re-packed our car before every journey, determined to make sure nothing could fall and hurt the girls – a quiet guardian in his own way.

Tony was full of stories — rescuing horses from rivers, reuniting families after earthquakes. Whether the tales were real or stretched just a little, they always carried the same message: compassion, bravery, and a deep sense of humanity.

He will be missed deeply, remembered fondly, and honoured always for the gentle, generous man he was.

Sue, Olivia and Gracie x 🥰

Tony/ Brownie
Absolutely gutted. We all met in the late 70’s, had some great times / trips to the Isle of Man , Norfolk Broads and Bournemouth . Great nights out in Whispers Wine Bar, Kirklands, Chaucers and the Poey and loads more, along with our great mate Kevin who also left us too early. The last trip we had was to China where we jumped on Evander Holyfields table.
Great nights great times. Will miss you loads Eddie, Peter, Syd and Chris
RIP BROWNIE

Tony you will be greatly missed my friend. I will miss the regular catch ups talking about old and new times and was so sad I could not be there in person to say good bye fair winds my fiend.
To Chris, Natalie, and Fraiser my deepest condolences and love to you all

Karen Dorr

Tony Still can’t believe that you have gone.
I met you at the same time that I met Kevin and knew that I was taking on the two of you.
You were partners in crime and there were many times that I wanted to murder you both.
You were the usher at our wedding in 1982 and the godfather to our first child Liam as Kevin was to Natalie.
You turned up like a vision at the Marie Curie when Kevin needed you and sat with us for 2 days.
I know that you two will be together causing mayhem.
RIP Tony who will I shout at now xx

Daph and Mark

Very privileged to call you our friend Buster❤️
