This is sad news indeed. I worked in training with Tony. In fact if I remember rightly he trained me to be a trainer and we did a lot of Golden Lion stuff together too. Happy memories & lovely to have known you, Tony!

From Steve Easley
Such sad news - I attended a 2 week 'Training Techniques' course lead by Tony in the early 80's, it was such a great experience, I learnt so much. The fact that some 30 odd years later I still have vivid memories of the course is testimony to what a great instructor he was. RIP Tony.
From Tom Stringer: I remember Tony. Sincere condolences. RIP
From Ray Bailey
I was so genuinely saddened to hear this news that I need to say how much Tony meant during my earliest years at BCal. I respected & appreciated Tony, as a person & for his talent. He taught me so much of value in 70s & 80s. Tony was a thorough professional, one of those true gents. Everyone enjoyed his instruction & loveable personality, always wanting to give of himself and see his student develop. Thank you Tony. From a most appreciative Ray & Kim.

Tony my dear Friend R I P with the good Lord who will surely reward you in Heaven.

From Bob Coleman
Sadness at Tony’s passing will be felt by all of us who worked in the Traffic Department of that pioneering airline named BUA so many years ago. His professional standards as a trainer were of enormous value to our Department. RIP Tony
From Colin Varty
Have only just read about Tony’s very sad passing, so poignant as I was thinking of him just last night whilst watching Baptiste, set in Amsterdam. I knew Tony from my earliest days in BUA, he was an absolute gentleman and the nicest person you could hope to meet and work with. My best memory was doing a station inspection in AMS and spending three great days with Tony, hence my thinking of him only last night. Sadly missed like so many other friends.
