I never met him, but we share the same name, Anthony T. Hincks. Not only that we also share the same birthday, 12th October. I think the odds must be very high to achieve both of those feats.
If we share the same birthday, then we would also share some of the same traits. So that means that, Tony, was a kind and generous man who cared about others.
I'm 58 so I have a while to go yet. But it would have been nice to meet him and say hello.
So, Tony, take care and I will see you one day.
