    Dear Eleanor, Phoebe and Lucie Please accept my condolence for the loss of Tony. Even though I was bit less fortunate to work closely with Tony but consider myself lucky at least was able to work with him in India for some time. He was leader with strong character but at the same time very considerate and sensitive and approachable leader which is rare to find now a days. I have been following his work since his India trips quite a few years back in his earlier jobs and was astonished the way he has completed some of the difficult projects with ease. He earned respect as he used to respect others equally. We share lot of happy memories with him during some of the happy occasions in office during his India visits. We are and we will for sure miss him and his leadership…. Sincerely Sandeep Vaidya     …

Hello M’am, Staying far away in India and having met Tony in person only 4 times, I still miss him, I miss him dearly. As such, I can imagine the pain you would be experiencing. I share in your grief and offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family. However, I believe that we should now cherish what Tony has left behind for us. Amongst, many other things, he continues to inspire people like me, who would try to emulate him. Talking to him about any particular issue was like resolving it instantly. As a person, he was so magnificent (sharp wisdom with a sense of calmness around him), that though, he treated you as an equal colleague or as a friend, you were compelled to give him due respect. That was Tony and the aura around him. I feel very proud of having known him and worked with him. Tony, would continue to be an integral part for the rest of my life. May God bless you and your family.       …

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Tony. Please accept my sincere condolences during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Tony and I must say that his passing has left a void in our team. Tony was a wonderful colleague and a great person to work with. He had a passion for his work and was always enthusiastic about any project he was involved in. His passion extended beyond the workplace as well, as I remember how he was always excited to share stories and photos of his car restoration project. It was evident that he poured his heart into everything he did. Sincerely,       -Santtu …

Dear Eleanor, Phoebe and Lucie, I send you my heartfelt condolences and sympathy on the loss of Tony. I got to know Tony as Finance Director, who wanted to know things very well and I had to face one or the other discussion. In his function this was exactly right, but it made him seem a little unapproachable to me. At some point, however, I got to know him personally a little better and I was pleasantly surprised by the Tony I then saw. He was a great person, fair, an interesting person to talk to, he was also up for a little teasing and countered well. It is such a pity that he is no longer with us. He left way too soon. I will always remember him as the amazing person he was and always will be. I wish you a lot of strength in this difficult time. …

Dear Eleanor, Phoebe and Lucie,    I’m so sorry for your loss and you’re going through this sad time. It was always a pleasure to work with Tony, he was prepared to listen and to give a quick advise. And he did it evertime with a smile. I would always remember Tony as very kind, full of knowledge and a true gentleman. It was a priviledge to know him. …
