Thank you for looking after my Dads car when he was terminally ill. You came and picked it up and got it warranted for him ready to sell. Nothing was ever too much for you. You were a kind, friendly man. To your family sincere condolences, this is very sad news

Tony.... I am devastated to say the least. Our last conversation a few weeks ago was about me retiring after 25 years at Kool Kidz and you contemplating it. I never met you Connie but Tony often mentioned you in conversation. Tony was more than a mechanic to me, he was a friend. Tony has looked after my work, personal and families vehicles for 25 years. Tony was my rescuer many times. If my van broke down with a van load of kids on the
way to school.... or my van wouldn't start when out with the kids because I forgot to turn the lights off....he would
come help me. Even if I just popped in to get some advice. Rest in Peace Tony I am going to miss you terribly. You were such a good, decent, caring and kind person. To Connie and all his family please accept my deepest condolences x Love from Theresa Inwood

Last i saw him, he was planning a fun weekend of stripping wall paper, that was only about 6 weeks ago. Known him since late 90's, have great respect for him. Pretty much in shock right now.
I know he has a very close, loving family who will just be devastated.
People like Tony can have an effect on others around them, lasting forever in our memories.
R.I.P. Tony

Tony......where do we even start.
Honestly without your guidance, patience, trust, belief in us Glen and I would never have ventured out on our own.
The change of ownership of Mascar Motors to Mascar Motors 1996 Ltd where you kept Glen on as your right hand man to 2003 when we opened our own wee workshop GRC Automotive Ltd.
You were there for the beginning of our family, our engagement and Connie married us with you proudly watching on. 23 years later we are still together although Glen put his tools down a few years ago so you def outlasted him!
Tony we are beyond devastated........you played a huge part in getting us where we are today!
The laughs you and Glen had ....... Friday was Gerrys for lunch........ Our brad telling Glen what was up on your deck at home, your 50th........even a couple of months ago when I rolled up in tears because my car was broken and as always you said it's OK I'll sort it.
You will forever be Glens best boss and mentor! You were like a dad to him.
To Connie, Jamie, Shelley and all the grandkids we are so so sorry for your loss. Our hearts are with you all.
REST IN FOREVER LOVE TONY...
Time to put down those tools ....... always remembered with love xxxxx

Tony (Pop) you were truly my soulmate and I hope you can see you were and always will be the only one for me.
I loved you and our life together and what we achieved. You were an awesome partner, the most amazing Dad and Poppa and so loved by us all.
My heart is shattered, my life destroyed without you in it.
You were caring, intelligent, hardworking, funny and generous to a fault.
You loved me unconditionally, supported me and inspired me to always follow my dreams.
You gave me a life of tranquility, helped me through times of darkness and sadness.
We were a team and we had so many plans for the future, a future I am struggling to see without you in it.
We built many memories together as a family, how can we forget.
You were always there for me.
Rest in peace you wonderful man.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

Dad, you and mum together have made me the person I am today.
You were the best Dad and Poppa we could ever ask for and you have not only supported me but once you became a Poppa you supported and guided Josh, Brad and Sammi also.
You have left us far too soon and it doesn't seem fair but we know that you lived your life to the fullest and passed with no regrets.
You were our rock and I know you will watch over us, protect us and continue to guide us throughout the rest of our lives. I will always be your little girl.
Dad, you will always be the brightest star in the sky, we will never forget you (how could we!) and our love for you will never diminish.
Until we meet again, you will be in our hearts and memories.
RIP Dad (Poppa) we love you forever and always.
