Uncle Tony! Or as I know you "Uncle Tony In Canada". You will be missed. Used to love my mum telling me & my sister shannon that you were coming over to see us in Gloucester! You loved my airplane collection when I was a child & you always made the effort at Christmas for me. Without fail, you always had a good story to tell on your amazing life. See you soon. -Paula bollard Tarulli's son.-Dom Tarulli

Goodbye and God bless, Uncle Tony, We'll miss your annual visits to Bedworth. You were a kind and generous Uncle who always made us smile with your stories over endless cups of tea and biscuits. My treasured memory will be picking you up at the airport on your last trip here and watching you stroll through the arrivals lounge at 8.00 am in your cowboy hat - It made me smile and was so typical of you! :D Wonderful memories and lots of smiles. We'll never forget you. Rest in peace, with much love, Paula, David & Becky xxx

A Tribute to My Uncle Tony.

"Farewell to my Brave Warrior,
No more Battles, No more Wars,
Lay down your Arms Old Soldier,
The Fights have all been Fought"

"March towards the Gates of Freedom,
Your time for Peace has come,
There's a Path been laid before you,
Old Friends and Loved Ones gone before"

"Love, Honour, Bravery and Humility,
are your Legacy to Behold,
Engraved upon the Hearts of many,
as Memories on which to Hold"

"March towards the Gates of Heaven Old Soldier,
Thine Angels await Thee there,
Lay and Rest thy Weary Soul Brave Warrior,
Within their Gracious and Devine Care"

Uncle Tony, I will always remember the Army jokes and fun times we shared. You were the biggest and boldest character in my life with the most loving, caring and compassionate heart. I will miss you so much.

Rest Peacefully
