Our TG ( wow ) your famous word.
Tony what a life time of Memories, , Joe and l
Feel so numb, l could write a book about the last 45 years with Joe and 38 years with me.
We partied in the early days like their was no tomorrow, best man and Maid of honour at you wedding to beautiful Carmel, celebrated the twins being born
And many other milestones afterwards.
Tony you taught me how to drive , how to party, JetSki and ride in the wind on you motorbike at very high speeds. Our early days the three of us were inseparable you were a man of your own making. Have so many wonderful, kind, funny, crazy And some stupid memories . We laughed so hard , joked until we cried and really could communicate with out speaking, that’s how well we new each other.
We spent the last twelve months with you watching you battling cancer trying to keep your spirits high, we once again laughed, cried with you and sometime l would just hold your hand, calmed your moods when things became to hard .
Tony l can say l had an extra brother and l know you looked at me like a sister and Joe a best mate. And we both adored you no matter what.
Our hearts are broken, will never be the same with out you, our hearts break for Carmel (wow what a woman and lady with the most loving, gentle sole beyond words ) and for Gabby and Anthony two beautiful kind loving children that will continue to make you super proud.
Love you Bro
You will be sadly missed

I just feel so grateful to have met Tony. He was such an inspirational man! He really made it clear to me what is really important in life, to make genuine, loving connections with people. He really seemed to do that effortlessly, what a big, open heart! What an example!
Awhh Carmel! And Gabby and Anthony! What a man you now carry forever with you! May the huge loss of Tony in body be balanced with the huge gift of his spirit. Thankfully for you, and for all of us that want you all forever in our lives, you’ve now got Tony also beaming out of your hearts. Gabby, and Anthony, so beautiful to hear your words about your dad. And to see those photos of Carmel and Tony in love, through those many years! Even through these screens it all felt so intimate, thank you guys!
I’ll think of Tony every time water comes gushing forth here in Christmas Hills, be grateful for him, just like water, he was the gift of life! Love, Tom
Dear Carmel
My sincere condolences to you, Anthony and Gabby on your loss. Thank you for the live streaming under these circumstances.
Everything said about your Tony was true and he still made me laugh.

God bless him & I’m sure he will keep all the Angels in heaven awake partying!
He will always be remembered and not forgotten.
Love to you all.

You always made me smile. Always had a laugh – your positivity & genuine joy infiltrated the lives and hearts of all who had the privilege & blessing to be in your presence.
“Ya can’t sweat the small stuff mate!”
Never thought you’d make me cry. Never expected such sadness would follow the thought of you walking through my mind.
All of those who know understand that God thought enough of us to have been given the gift of you. Thanks for being you & making our lives a better place to be.
You will live on forever in our family tree and you’ll always be just a branch away from me. Love you cousin … (Ro)
Message from Doug and Allister at Geodivining International:
We have been deeply saddened and sobered by Tony’s battle with leukaemia and his passing last Saturday.
Tony was a great friend to us when we first came to Australia and worked successfully with him over 20 years ago and he always kept us in mind on subsequent projects, including the ill-fated adventure in Sabah.
We have talked so much through his illness and he was always looking forward to new projects, new adventures. He really wanted to travel over to Scotland and work with some of our drilling buddies over here, and Doug would send him pictures and videos of beautiful places and water wells in Scotland to keep that dream alive. It would have been great to have him and Carmel over as our guests and we’re sad that he never made the trip.
Tony was a big-hearted larger-than-life character and a faithful dedicated friend. Like his father before him, drilling was his life. We will miss him and always remember him.
I’m so glad we were all able to work together on Tom and Isabel’s project, Tony’s last well, ‘the Temple Well’, and to complete it successfully in time for Tony to know the result.
In Tony’s memory Allister and I want to work with you all as much as possible in adapting to life without Tony and in support of Tony’s unfinished business and future drilling projects, and we will endeavour, as Tony would wish, to support Supreme Drilling in every way we can.
Thanks for the picture of you guys and the messages on the casing. That was such a fitting tribute to the man whose life’s work was drilling water wells.
We talked about this and thought we would like to contribute in a tangible and meaningful way to a memorial at the wellhead when it is finished.
We’re sorry that neither of us were able to be there in person for that tribute, though we are with you ‘on line’ and more directly ‘in spirit’ today.
To Carmel, Anthony and Gabby and all Tony’s family and friends, our hearts are united in grief at his loss and in joy at having been present in his life.
To Tony, we’ll always miss your jovial greeting “howyergoin’ mate?” But know each day we live and work, and each time water flows forth sustaining new life, there’ll always be your encouraging words “good on yer mate; she’s a beaut!” and that broad sunburnt smile and satisfied glint in your blue eyes.
While our bodies fail us and grow old, the love and friendship never die.
God speed brother. May your rest be painless and peaceful and your waking filled with the joys of a life well lived.
To Carmel,Anthony and Gabby.
