Anthony (Tony) Thursby

Happy memories of a chat and a game of darts in the Garda club. Gentleman Tony. R.I.P.

Tony's friendship goes many many years, we have enjoyed many magic conventions to gatherer with George Kovari here in the UK and abroad. We spoke only a few weeks ago and received the sad news via our welfare officer. A through gentleman and a true friend. Rest in Peace Tony. Darius.

We were very sad to hear of Tony's death. Tony was such a gentleman and a neighbour who always had a smile on his face and a positive take on the affairs of the world. He will be missed. Rest in peace Tony.

Fond memories of Tony.

Very fond memories of Tony.

Tony was a gentleman. So approachable. So kind. He never had a bad word for anyone. RIP Tony. Thanks for the guidance. D

Sencerly sorry to hear the sad news this morning an absolute pleasure to have known him in the college always having time for both students and staff many an entertaining lunchtime discussion may he rest in peace

Tony will be sadly missed both as a friend and as a magician. He was the last link with the founder members of the Society of Irish Magicians. His mentor and stepfather was the founder. I will miss meeting him for the occasional chat and pint. My prayers go with him and my sincerest sympathies to his family. May he Rest in Peace, Amen.

We will miss your ambidextrous playing of indoor bowls. May you rest in peace.

Deepest Sympathy to Tony’s family I remember him growing up a gentle soul

Tony was the first magic dealer I met in person, I was fifteen at the time. He was patient, kind and very easy going. He was the exact same all the following years I met and spent time with him socially. Tony had a great magic mind and could see to the heart of an effect and knew how to get the best out of a piece of magic, he also had a terrific knowledge of all magic past and present. All the time I knew him he never had a bad word to say about anyone, what a great quality to have, what a gentleman. Rest in peace Tony.

Sincere sympathies to Tony’s family. He often passed my door while on his daily walk and always had time for a chat. Rest in peace Tony

Tony was always a warm, friendly presence, and he had a beautiful act. It was a pleasure to meet him, and he will be sorely missed.

An absolute gentleman. Tony was a great help and inspiration to so many magicians through the years. I’m so glad I got to know him. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace Tony.

I have lost my dearest friend. I was devastated to learn of his passing. We were together eight weeks ago when Isobel and I went to Dublin and he came to the Gresham and we had a wonderful day together. He promised to come to stay with us again when Covid-19 allowed. He phoned me last week to to see how I was and was in excellent form. It is so hard to believe we will not see him again or hear his gentle voice. Tony we will miss you more than words could ever express. We loved you so much.
Deepest sympathy to family and friends. Rest in Peace my beloved friend

Tony was a valued and much loved member of the community of St Kevin's and Portobello. He was an active member of the indoor bowling club in St Kevin's Community Centre..

Tony has left our community enriched for having him as a part of it.

He was a gentleman to the tips of every part of his body.

Interested and interesting. Perhaps, many of us never got to know the incredible journey of the life he lived.

He touched so many of our lives with his gentleness and kindness as he walked and moved among us. He gave the gift of time.

My Condolences to his Family. Tony was a true Gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him. He was a lovely genuine man.

Sincerest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Tony's passing. His Mum was my Dad's cousin and as a child I remember him coming to our house. He always did some magic for us. I especially remember him making dogs from baloons. It was great fun. May he rest in peace.

Our sincere sympathies to Tony's family and his many friends in Magic. He will be sadly missed. He had a deep love and respect for the art of Magic and was a knowledge powerhouse into the history and linage of this art. both my brother and myself have fond memories of his stories about the history of a trick and stagecraft in general. Tony along with our deceased Father gave us a deep love and respect for Magic as an art form. Sim Sala Bim - May you rest in peace until you reappear again, like the Master Magician you were.

Sincere condolences on the passing of a true gentleman. May he rest in peace

Sharing my deepest sympathies - I was a neighbour of Tony's and found such joy and delight in my conversations with him. What a lovely man, and so full of life.

I would like to offer my sincere sympathies to Tonys family and many of his fellow magicians on his passing. He was a first class magician and loved the art of magic. I am sure he is up in heaven asking Vincent Finucane [Munster Society of Magicians] to pick a card.
