What a lovely man. I’ve known Tony & his late wife Alice since I was a child in the early 1960s. My brothers JohnM, Morgan & I were regularly asked in to their house in Friar Street to play with their young sons (babies!) Micheál & Jim. Tony & Alice were a great couple and gave so much of their energy, skills and time to our community. Well done, good and faithful servants.

What an absolute Legend of a man whom I’ve known since childhood, he was a close family friend and an amazing support throughout the years.
