Not sure what to say?

So sad to learn of Tony's passing. I knew him from the country music scene. He had a big heart and was always so cheerful and ready for a chat when he saw Red and myself. So sorry I have missed the service for him. He will be so missed from your lives. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. May he rest in peace. Heaven must be a party place with all other musos gone before him.

So sorry to hear about Tony, he was great man and will be missed by many in the musical world. A great singer, judge and mentor to many. He will not be forgotten and we are so sorry we missed the service for him. Take care Lorraine and treasure all those wonderfull memories. RIP Tony all our love Karina & Geoff Bellman x x x x

To the Hyland family, Tony was such a character. Our family had alot of dealings with him, from Fairlie days, Geraldine Pgg Wrightsons, singing with the Sugrues, being involved with the Country music festivals at GTCC where I worked. He had a beautiful singing voice and encouraged so many to give it a go. Tony was a kind hearted soul with a wicked sense of humour. He is sadly missed. The Christie family. Geraldine.
