I first got to know Tony when he came to work for me approximately 15 years ago. In that time our relationship grew into a friendship. I cherished our meetings for coffee and long chats about our mutual love of Ipswich Town Football Club. In recent months he wasn’t looking his normal self but the laugh and smile we all knew Tony for never left him. I had so much time for Tony who was a lovely man and I never knew anyone who had a bad word to say about him. Rest in peace mate.
