So many memories, but there are a few that stick out. Anytime we were in a meeting together and there was a crazy idea brought up - we would always share a knowing look and a smirk. One time I was sitting outside his office waiting for a meeting I had in another room that was overrunning. He saw me and made space in his office so I could sit in comfort while I waited - so indicative of his nature, always willing to help someone in need. He was also a confidante that really helped me through some difficult moments, he always made himself available and fought my corner. But one of my fondest memories is when the Covid crisis was beginning, a Major Incident Team was formed, that I minuted. We had a WhatsApp group to keep us all in the loop while we started to WFH. The last text received from Tony was of a sleeping unicorn emoji which he sent accidentally - but it was just what I needed at that time. That was Tony, wittingly and unwittingly being there to support me.
