My condolences to John, Joe and the Badali family. For many years, the Childs' family enjoyed a strong business relationship with Tony and Islington Nurseries. While Tony was an early entrepeneur in Etobicoke he was also a true gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him.

My condolences to the Badali family. I'll always have fond memories of my CNE days, counting the daily proceeds while eating delicious Italian chicken noodle soup with the family in the wee hours of the morning. Tony always had a smile and a lot of patience. I will always remember him.

To Pat, Cathy, Joe, Anne Marie, John and your families... My heart is so filled with sadness at the loss of Tony or Mr.B, as he was fondly known to me for so many years, before I became a grown up. I have so many wonderful memories of Tony over the years, but I think my favourite memories are from the hey days of the exhibition and the many Christmas Eves spent at the Badali household. I will never forget the smile I would always receive from Tony no matter how much time passed since I saw him last. He was always so kind to ask, genuinely, of how I was. Tony was such a strong man, mentally and physically and it is hard to imagine this world, and your family, without him. Use his inherited strength at this difficult time. Lean on one another and continue to make him proud. I will never forget him. Blessings to each one of you and to all whose lives Tony touched. With love and my sincere condolences.
