Anthony Norris BRISCOE

For some reason you came to mind. So I used the Internet to see where you were and Tony´s obit came up. I am so sorry but so happy you had so many years together with Tony and your lovely family now all grown up. My sincere sympathy to you all. Take care. Ann-Marie Pankratz.

Sad to hear of Tony´s passing. We were colleagues in Trade and Industry 40 years ago. Deepest sympathy to Julia and family and all who knew and loved him.

My deepest condolences to you Julia, Joshua, Jessica and Rebecca, and all your family.

Dear Julia and family,
I have just heard that Tony passed away suddenly. What a shock to you and the family – and Carol and I. Our deepest sympathy to you and the family. It is many years since Tony and I worked in Singapore, but I never forgot our time together. He was rock solid, knowledgeable and a great guy. His potential in business was obvious and I admired his move into the emerging telecom sector. I followed his career over the years but regrettably we rarely crossed paths. I...

I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear about Tony's sudden passing. Working with him at TNZI was a pleasure; his professionalism and passion led to many achievements and wonderful memories. He will be fondly remembered by all who knew him. My condolences to Julia and the family. May he rest in peace.

I met Tony whilst studying at Victoria University in the mid seventies and residing at Weir House. "Big T", as he was affectionately called, was a residence character, great conversationist, superb and fearless judo instructor, as well as friend and colleague. I heard then of his earlier long trip and stay in Japan and the numerous events that he got up to. A colourful character from his early days. I spoke to him occasionally since then, the last time in November last year. Sorry for...

When I was head of Global Wholesale at Telstra, I met quite often with Tony. The meetings were challenging as we each used our wits to score a point or two. Tony was very clever and extremely astute and often came out on top. Afterwards we would share a convivial wine and mull over the encounter. While always fighting for TNZI, it was clear Tony was also fighting for his country, so proud of his NZ as he was. One of his great attributes. He will be missed.

A mighty Kauri has fallen. I will miss Tony and his ability to connect with people. His compassion and authenticity.His love of chardonnay, travel, the art of a deal, and his family. Julia and his children were always a topic of conversation. I am sorry for your your loss. Kia kaha my friend .

I worked at TNZI while Tony was the GM. He was a fantastic manager and had my greatest respect. For a senior manager he was easy to talk to and very down to earth. It's so sad to loose such a decent man so soon. My deepest condolences to Tony's family.
