My sincere condolences to the Kearney family on the passing of Anto and thinking of him as we near the end of 2023. I was very saddened and shocked to hear of his sudden passing. I worked with Anto in the Training Unit, DSP. We had great chats and laughs over the years. An absolute legend and a gentleman who we've lost far too soon. I hope they're playing 80s music in heaven tonight.

It was great sadness that I learned of Anto's passing. I clearly remember his approachable and and precise Induction Course (SDU) on my first day in the Dept. It was a few years later when I seen Anto again, when working in IB Branch, and his infection enthusiasm for the doing the job properly was one of the good qualities I learned from him. I was sorry to hear he had left IB, and with COVID we all never got to experience his insights again. Sadly missed, and always fondly remembered by all.
