I am one of the ex girlfriends who had lunch with Tony over the years. We met when I was 16 and he was 18, and stayed in touch through all our other relationships. When we met he was on track for becoming a surveyor and joining the family firm, it shows his determination that he gave this up for a career which was his passion, and riskier in so many ways - he was a happy man! I spoke with him on the phone in October, he was short of breath but still laughing at himself.
