Oh Sandy, so sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to you and his family.

Can't say I ever talked to Tony much, but he's been an integral part of this site
for as long as I've been here and he always struck me as a really good guy.

I remember posts about your trips from way back, both on wheels and wings - hard to
believe he's not here anymore.

Rest in peace, Tony, you will be missed.

I'm in total disbelief over these tragic news :(

Rest in peace, Tony. You will always be remembered for your friendship, respect, generosity, and of course the overwhelming commitment and contribution you've made to this site over the years.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Tony. My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Tony used to make occasional trips to my area of BC and he would frequently phone and we would meet for a beer and lunch. He was a very knowledgeable KZ resource and a good friend.

Just logged on and saw the KZ1000 MKII BOM. Read the tribute to Tony associated with the photo. Wonderful tribute and gesture. Beautiful bike. May he rest in peace.

That is cool,

He was also one of the many patient members waiting for the flag to come his way maybe we could dedicate that leg to him.

When Justin and I get together next Saturday for the KZR flag handoff, we will discuss friends we've had who we miss. We will all say a silent prayer for Tony and his family and friends.
