One of the first things I read on this site when I registered back in 2002 was the moving tributes to Anthony. It showed the depth of feeling and respect that members had for each other, and being a member for over 4 years now you come to realise that its a community of friends, and you get drawn in. Difficult to explain to people who arent members of message boards.

RIP Anthony, never met you fella but you were obviously a top geezer:thumbsup:

My thoughts exactly. :thumbsup:

He sounded like a genuinly nice person who was thought of fondley and is now sadly missed.

RIP Anthony.

RIP Ant. :love: :love: :love:

Thank you for being such a good mate and for generally being such a top bloke. You could never go far enough to help people and were always there with a sensible view on things when the rest of us got a "bit feisty"!! ;)

They say everything happens for a reason but this is one thing that none of us could ever make sense of. You'd only broken your leg falling off one of the big sewerage pipes you worked on - if the outcome had been different, we would have just pointed and laughed at you and you would have laughed along with us. How could it have gone so wrong? :cry:

You're still missed and still in our hearts babe. I hope you're still looking down on us and that you're in a better place. Take good care of yourself mate.

Loadsa love,
Amy xxxxxx :love: :love: :love: :moonie:
