To Tony’s family I am the girl who lived at his place for a few months on and off, he ended up helping me through the end of my addiction, he helped me get back on my feet, he even picked me up and drove me to the hospital to get my rape kit done when it happened to me
 He was there for some really insane times, he helped me with my legal matters. So much more. This man helped when he didn’t have to, I have wanted to tell him how good my life is now, how successful I am now, how I have a 5 year old boy, I run my own business, I do awareness online and wish I could say it all in person but hope you can see for yourself now :( Rest In Peace big tony!! Much love from Stefani Vanttinen

My condolences to friends and family.
My name is Michelle LaBelle, I had a small part in Tony's' life in 2016, when he rescued me from  the streets of East Vancouver. 
 I was experiencing homelessness, addiction and running from Law Enforcement.  Tony took me into his Family home,  gave me a room to call my own, fed me and helped me to fix ALL my many issues! 
I am now living with my family in Alberta, clean, sober and clear of any criminal charges for 11yrs now!  Thank you Tony!
In my personal experience and opinion, Tony was a man that demanded respect, but, if you gave it he would return it to you 10 fold! 
We have all done things we regret, or have remorse over, things we wish we could change in our past...as we all are aware, that is NOT how life works!
We learn from our mistakes and with the hope, that our deepest apologies are accepted. Most of all its' ourselves and our Maker, that we need to forgive and ask forgiveness from.
 I believe that if it is our time, when we have learned all we need to learn from this life of flesh. We will then be able to ascend, and move on  to our next stage of Spiritual life. 
I hope and pray that Tony has been given this right to passage and if so, that he is enjoying the warm embrace of his loving family, who had passed on before him. 
Tony's memory lives on here and now, through us, when we remember his face, his time with us and/or speak his name!
My Brother from another Mother !! Top Left !!
Thank you Tony for the time you spent with me, I will keep you in my heart, my prayers and my thoughts as long, as my mind allows me!
I have the sincerest sadness for your passing but I will remember to celebrate your life and the tiny part I was fortunate enough to experience in it with you!!
Much Love My Dear Friend: Michelle Labelle aka "Little One"

T,

I first met you at karaoke at the Legion in Kerrisdale. Got to know you and your big heart, and some of your old school wisdom.
You could rock a tune, as we did many times. You could also sing some great Johnny Cash, as well as the odd softer tune. 

You also taught me some pretty damn good kickboxing skills. I've said many times to people that I learned more from you in maybe 7 or 8 lessons than I would have in a year or probably more with other teachers.

Hey, we'll always have the memories.

All the best, my friend.

Mike Dickson

I remember the last time I saw you, August 2012. Chris had just been murdered, and I flew in. You were there for me in such a dark time of my life. I remember we met several times and shared memories and laughs,  remembering a great man together. My first and only true love. My last visit with him, we all shared a meal at Taste Nice, April 24 2011. Around the corner from Titan Fitness, where we had originally met. You had your younger son with you, ready to go to a boxing fight. We met twenty years ago, how the time has flown by.  I moved away.. but my heart has always stayed. I will remember you with kindness, as that is all you ever showed me. So many memories are flooding back... I will light a candle for you tonight. Rest In Peace. 

My Dearest Tony:    I will miss you  til the day I die.   Your old friends would call you Dakto.    You would call me Jellybean or Sweetmeat.   Icalled you Tone.   I hope to see you at the end of the tunnel....and Sam.    You were my first guy, I was your first gal.    We had such good times, and I still have all those stuffed animals that you won for me and The PNE during the summers of 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978!   I still have all the beautiful  jewellery and other stuff you gave me.    We still loved each other even though we went on in life.   but, my dear Tony, I will see you and Sam at the end of the Rainbow, and I am sure Sam will have welcomed you in,  then joking call you....Hey, you big awk!

U will always b missed ,U where always so strong and brave from the street to the grave Big T till we meet again .......


R.I.P. Tony, may your spirit soar.
My fondest memory of you is from the wild white water rafting trip we took many years ago.  The image of your large strong body straddling the side of the raft, arm in air, riding the waves with gusto.  YEA HA!  Until a huge wave  bent the raft upwards and you were tossed back into the raft.  Priceless memory.
Condolences to all who love and will miss Tony's presence. 


We send our deepest sympathy, you our in our thoughts & prayers.

Much love, The Simpsons

Tio Tony, I miss hearing your voice on the other end of the phone. You were a great friend to Angela and Ariana, and me, and I love you for that.  You took my son under your wing and I thank you for that.  I have a hole in my heart now that no one can fix.  RIP, mi amigo.
