People walk though our lives but only true friends leave footprints on our hearts. Thank you Tony for being a good friend over the last 39 years. We have lots of memories, which will be remembered by all the Gale family.

Uncle Tony will always be the uncle quick with a joke and a cheeky smile on his face. My favourite memories are those of him playing with my kids, making them laugh. Always one to enjoy a holiday, one who was always planning his next trip - enjoy this final one Uncle Tony, you will be missed xxx

So my first memory of uncle Tony was when I was about 5 years old. As a family we went down to visit auntie Helen and uncle Tony, on arriving Tony grabbed me by the cheeks and kissed me, the feel of stubble from his chin was horrendous and the slightly wet kiss was even worse lol this same ritual continued each and every time I saw him, as you can imagine going to Helen and Tony's become a little bit daunting 😂 As I grew older, I learned to appreciate that these kisses were a sign of Love and affection! Tony, u will be sorely missed, may you rest in peace xx

Tony, a man who could always see the funny side of everything, could always make us laugh. He laughed with us and didn't mind us laughing at him. I remember going to "The Pilot" for lunch on one of my visits to UK. Helen asked for a coffee and off Tony went. His Parkinsons was beginning to be a bit of a nuisance to him at that time but true to form he made a joke of it. He brought Helen's coffee back to the table and said "that was a flat white when I picked it up now it's frothy coffee". He was always the life of the party, could turn a dull day into something brilliant. I suspect he is making angels laugh with him now. Tony you were just like a brother to me. God has you in His care, we have you in our hearts xx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Tony. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
