Tony was the kindest person with the biggest heart i have ever known. He loved and cared for me in every possible way, He loved his family very much. He was always happy to help his family friends and neighbours. And he loved his dogs.

Tony loved Everton football club, he loved all kinds of sports because the family had always taken part in different activities. He loved his mum and dad very much and was very worried when their health started to deteriorate, Tony was sometimes misunderstood because he had difficulty expressing his emotions at times. However we could finish each others sentences because we knew each other so well and i fully understood him, he was my everything. His family was very close and had lots of parties in earlier years, John his dad would always be singing and i believe he was the soul of the family, Keith and Phil was always playing pranks on each other and Tony so he said, Della used to take Tony to the airport which he was very interested in. Chris Julie and Angie were a very good influence in the family, lots of parties were enjoyed, and Tony thought a lot of them. It was very sad for Tony's Mum and Dad because it must be very hard to see one of your children go before yourself and not be well enough to attend the funeral. The family have had a lot to deal with. He loved his uncles, niece and nephews. Tony was a fantastic stepdad to my three sons Michael, David, and Ryan they loved him dearly. When the grandchildren came he was made up, they loved him very much and always called him Grandad Tony, which made him so proud. He has left a very large hole in all our lives who loved him. Tony loved walking up the town meeting people along the way and talking to them, Tony would clown around with the boys and grandchildren making them all laugh. He loved his garden and planting flowers, Tony was always on the go, he never sat still, and had to find something to do. He was the best stepdad the boys could have ever had and they had a high regard for him, the grandchildren loved him and miss him. Tony died so suddenly, it was such a shock and nobody knew he had a enlarged heart, the only one thing I'm grateful for is it hadn't impacted his life because Tony wouldn't have been able to cope with any restrictions on his mobility. I have lost my soulmate my lover my best friend and the hole left is massive but he will live on in my heart and the heart of his loved ones forever. LOVE YOU TONY RIP xxx
