I knew Tony as a congenial colleague in the GAS/GAAD school at Georgian College until I left Georgian and Barrie in 1998 for opportunities elsewhere. We met again recently hoping to reconnect so I was shocked at the news and saddened that we lost the chance to renew our friendship. I'm sure Tony would remember this quotation:
"Time and tide wait for no man."

My thoughts are with Tony's family and friends. A memorial donation has been made to Royal Victoria Hospital, Barrie.

I am so sorry to hear this. I was a student in Tony's Professional Writing course a very long time ago at Georgian College, and very much enjoyed both the course and the good humoured banter that continued whenever I saw him over the years (He wanted his cut of anything I made from writing!)
My condolences to his family & friends.

I am so very sorry to hear about Tony's passing - he was an exceptionally nice and clever man. I didn't know him very well, but I had to take over a course of his once when he took some urgent leave. He was generous and shared so freely, which meant I only had to deliver his course. He was well-known in our department for his knowledge and skill in writing and editing. I wish I had half of his skills. I am sure you are all devastated - the world has lost a nice guy.

I met Tony 25 years ago at a mutual friend's cottage in Muskoka and we were both immediately entranced with one another. Our relationship evolved and meandered in various ways over the years, the past seven though were particularly close as I visited him pretty much every month. He helped me through the loss of both my parents whom he had known, and two other close friends. Always generous, he made his home my second, and always welcomed me to stay as long as I wanted. A true oasis, but mostly for the long morning conversations over coffee on any topic that caught our attention, then driving around to Harris Farms or to get apples from a nearby neighbour, or just to enjoy the countryside. We travelled together many times over these years, too... to Venezuela, Antigua, and about 10 times to Cuba where Tony reveled in better air to breathe, and good cold Cristal beer. We were just there again this past February with close friends Janette and Doug Stock, and despite Covid, imagining more visits in future. I will always treasure having known Tony and sharing so much of our lives together... and the conversations we shared over the past two weeks which now seem even more precious...the hope and belief that all would be okay. He was so grateful for the outpouring of support and love from his friends, and so sad that his family had to bear witness to his illness. May he be forever in peace, as our love for him never ends....

Back in 1978, we were short of one groom and as a good neighbour and a truly friendly fellow, he jumped in to fill the spot. He lived at that time in Barrie. I also remember his trips to Mayan country areas in Guatelmala and Belize.

"Uncle Tony" was what my two young children called Tony.
That was 40 years ago when we met as wannabe college professors in Peterborough. Tony has been a major player in my life & my family's life ever since. Too many special times to identify. Just let it be known that our lives, individually and collectively were the richer because of knowing him. From his hospital bed: "I love you man; I love you too brother" these were the parting words Tony & I spoke to one another.
Both my wife Janette & I offer our sincere condolences to Tony's parents Anton & Albina & sister Wendy.

Tony and I first met in the States sometime ago, in the 80's. It was in St. Paul, MN. We hit if off, and stayed in touch. There was a time when I was newly single and living in Sarasota, Florida, when he decided to take a sabbatical to Sarasota and write a book (this might have been around 1990)? We had many great adventures (I guess that is a good description), and I especially remember the times we had in the Florida Keys! "Where's the beach" was a phase that we used often, when just joking around. I guess you had to be there. We also vacationed in Placencia, Belize and had a great time.
My friend, you will be missed beyond all imagination, your friendship and sense of humor, for being there for me when I was down. As tears flow down my face, I just can't fathom a world without you Tony. Way too soon to say goodbye.....

We grew up on the same street, three houses apart, in the 1950's and 1960's. Our mothers worked at the same textile mill [ Hamilton Cotton Co. ] for many years and usually Anton would them home each after their afternoon shifts. Although Tony was six years younger, we did play together - he always wanted to visit our 'fort' inside our car garage. We kept in touch over the years .
