To Lorraine, Lucy, Jamie and Nicola - I'm so sorry to hear that Tony has passed away. It feels like only months since I saw him last in his wonderful garden yet I know it must be so much longer. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies to all of Tony's family on Tony's recent death. I knew him at Guinness. He was a kind, caring and thoughtful man and will be deeply missed by all his former work colleagues. May his soul rest in peace.

Very sadly we heard of Tony’s passing. Tony will be remembered by his fellow friends and board directors as a shining light in the history of Crann. Tony was not only passionate about trees, he was fascinated by them and was a Master of arboreal knowledge. Tony’s great achievement without question was his devotion to the Californian Redwoods. These he would honour with an idea which he only can be credited with, the Giants Grove at Birr Castle. On behalf of the Board of Crann – Trees for Ireland, its members and associates we send our sincere condolences to Loraine and Tony’s family. We wish Tony a fond farewell. May he Rest in Peace.

To Loraine and to Tony's family, our deepest sympathies to you on the loss of Tony. He was a brilliant creative person, full of initiative and spirit. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you,
Clara and Charles
