We were very sad to hear Tony had passed away, I came to know him well in my employment with General Finance in Dunedin. He was one our local advisors along with Les Stewart, and as branch manager, he provided invaluable advice and knowledge to our company and myself over many years. He was also very well thought of by the directors of our company , our managing director would always visit him when in Dunedin. I last met Tony and Lennie some four years ago at an art exhibition and both myself and Carol had a lovely catch up. To Lennie and family please accept our deepest condolences, Carol and Colin Venables.

Very sad to hear of Tony’s passing. Tony was my first boss back in the LAB days. I fondly remember our dinner in HK with Lennie when Tony worked with Immigration, plenty of red wine consumed not much scotch. RIP Tony, to a life well lived.

Very sorry to hear of Tony's passing. He will certainly be missed. Tony had provided valuable support to my parents and our family over many years and Sir Clifford and Lady Marie pass on their heartfelt condolences and our thoughts are with your family at this time of your loss.

Dear Helen, Barb, Steve, Lennie and family. Christine and I were sad to hear about Tony’s passing and our thoughts go out to you all. I am sure Tony would have been the last of the Upland St originals .

Dearly loved friend of Alec and Joan- too many scotches and too few trout over many years at Wanaka. Deepest sympathy from the McLaughlan family.

Dear Helen, Barb, Steve, Dear Lennie, and all your families I was very saddened to hear of Tony's death. I know these last months weren't easy for him and it was not unexpected, but it is still a shock when it happens. He will be greatly missed. I've known Tony since 1972 and associate him especially with Wanaka. He was a big, generous, forthright personality and a lot of fun. My thoughts and love are with you all. Arohanui, Kirsten
