So sorry to get this news. I first met Tony at the KC Hall for Mary and Dans wedding, my nephew. I didn't know Tony well but have heard stories from the K>C functions .Some of the local K.C Members from my council Know him. Tony was an outstanding member of the order in the Denton Area and indeed his district.
May Jesus recieve him into the warmth of his Eternal Love and send comfort and peace to his family and friends.
