Tony was a good man. He's been our landlord for a year, and we were impressed with the warmth in which he displayed while spending time with us - leaving us a bottle of champagne as a moving in present! We've spent time with him and Charis, hearing tales of racing of old but also expressing our views on the world as a whole. Tony was that driven, he'd wait in his car outside of the property while it was being repaired. We're lucky to have known him, and our regrets is that it was only for a short while. Your family are in our thoughts, and thanks for letting us get to know you. Alex and Kasia.
