Many of you will have known Tony \u2013 he was a fixture at the Pioneer club for as long as I remember. Always helpful and good-humored and a mainstay\u00a0in any competitions there.<\/p>\n

From long time friend Sharon Bowes:<\/p>\n
\nWhile the details are still to be confirmed, at this point in time it looks like Tony’s memorial service will be in the spring.\u00a0 Tony’s wife Elaine was looking at later in May and it will likely be an intimate service.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nI have also had people ask what charity(s) did Tony support.\u00a0 One of the main ones was the Salvation Army alternatively St. Mary’s Hospital where they provided very compassionate care would be a couple of suggestions. <\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\nFor those that attend the LSBA in Kitchener, I will have out some cards that can be signed this weekend and we will take them to the family.\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
