The loss of a good friend
I have been asked by Tony's ( Isuzusweets ) wife Gabby. To inform everyone of Tony's passing he lost his battle with the cancer he was fighting on Monday night. We have lost a great person and friend.
I only met Tony about 6 years ago but in that 6 years we became best friends. It saddens me greatly to have to write this. I am sure he will be greatly missed by his family and anyone who knew him.
R.I.P Tony my good friend

Sad. I never met Tony, but knew him through his writings on the forum. He was very nice and helpful. My condolences to Gabby and family. He will be missed.

My thoughts are with Gabby and his family.
We only met face to face at the 2016 motorhome get-together but exchanged messages on a whole range of subjects to the point I fell I have lost a good friend.
Kindred spirits separated

We were lucky to get the chance to meet Tony the couple times we did. What a truly a great guy, that could make you feel like friends from the moment you met. Heartfelt prayers for Gabby and the rest of the family

shepard57, thank you for passing along the unfortunate news about Tony. I've enjoyed reading his posts, always insightful and funny.
I was reading a thread of his earlier in the week and went back a few pages and saw he mentioned starting chemo (last summer?).
Thoughts and prayers to Gabby and family on their (and our) loss. Tony, you will be missed. Godspeed

That news just breaks my heart. I enjoyed many emails and phone calls with Tony and was with him when he bought the Argosy. I kept waiting and hoping for him to inform us that he'd won his battle.
His friendship will be sorely missed along with his spirited discussions.
RIP Tony.
