In his words, “the realisation of Tony’s death was to say, the least an unbelievable occurrence even as it appears to be so. Tony had through thick and thin been dedicatedly around me and my family for the past 17 years. I am throughout speechless as it concerns Tony’s death because this is one of my greatest shocks and personal losses.”
