So sad to learn of Tony's passing. I knew him from the country music scene. He had a big heart and was always so cheerful and ready for a chat when he saw Red and myself. So sorry I have missed the service for him. He will be so missed from your lives. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. May he rest in peace. Heaven must be a party place with all
other musos gone before him.

To the Hyland family,
Tony was such a character. Our family had alot of dealings with him, from Fairlie days, Geraldine Pgg Wrightsons, singing with the Sugrues, being involved with the Country music festivals at GTCC where I worked. He had a beautiful singing voice and encouraged so many to give it a go. Tony was a kind hearted soul with a wicked sense of humour. He is sadly missed.
The Christie family. Geraldine.

So sorry to read of Tony's passing. Tony kicked around with a few of us lads at Estimate when he was doing his apprenticeship. Always happy for a friendly yarn. A true gentleman and great bloke to be a friend of. Condolences and love to his family and friends.
