Tony was a delight to work with. I learned so much from him. He was sharp, focused, determined, funny, had a wicked whip of a golf swing, and had a huge soft heart.  He will always have a special place in mine.  I love you Tony.

To Tony's sons

To Tony's sons: We are so sorry for your loss. Your dad had a big heart and kind soul and that's why everyone cared for him so much. He had a great sense of humour and told wonderful stories. He would take the time to teach, train and mentor at work. I'm only one of many many lives that he touched. We loved him for who he was and will dearly miss him.

Sorry very sad to hear of Tony's passing.  He was a true loyal friend and was there when it counted.  When I would meet him to play golf, smoke a cigar and talk about politics or sports, I always walked away feeling better about myself and the world.  He had a kind heart and a fun loving sense of humor. 
He also was a positive force with our children as a soccer coach (or football, he liked to remind me) to playing guitar with them and teaching/performing the song The Streets of London
He will be missed but not forgotten.

The Moore Family Matt, Mike, June and Kim Barrett

He was my boss, my partner in golf tournaments, a scourge at the end of a fiscal month, a football wizard (even tough he grew up on the other side of the pond, playing another 'football' professionally). He was a proper Dublin-er who lived for successful corporate moments and loved life. Tony, your many friends are saddened and shocked this evening. We will never forget you. Be at peace and know you are loved.

Tony was a gentleman and a great boss, and I learned and grew working with him.  I even adopted his 'clean desk' policy as my way to operate and create some intrigue.

I am very sorry to hear of his passing - best wishes to his family.

I recently told Tony he was the best Boss I have ever had.  He made work enjoyable.  He was a good mentor.. He will be missed.  God Bless you Tony.

I am very to hear of Tony's passing, He was both a friend and someone I learned much from.  My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.  Rest in Peace Tony.

Tony's passing is a mind blowing shock. Tony and I worked hand in hand together for many years. He had a great spirit and a great sense of humor. He inspired many. I will miss him greatly. Rest in peace Tony.

I am very sorry to hear of Tony's passing.  He was a great person to know and work with.  Glad I had a chance to connect briefly with him recently.  Peace to his family and may Tony find eternal peace.
