His love and respect for all especially his faith in the Lord.was remarkable. I had never seen him without a smile.
He left as graciously with dignity the same way that he lived
He gave without expecting any return. Thelma, Mario and Marianne were blessed to have him and vice versa.
Such human beings are never forgotten as they leave with a special place in your heart. May the Lord have mercy on him and shower his countless and endless blessings on the departed soul Amen. My special condolences to Thelma, Mario and Marianne. With loads of love Faiza, Shiraz and Mehreen 🙏🤲😥

Chitra & Anthony
Anthony was a lovely human being and a kind and loving husband. He was supportive of Thelma and her journey throughout. Very few people would be such a pillar of strength. He was always there, always kind and giving, a selfless man who always thought of others first. God has welcomed into his fold a beautiful human being. I have had the honour and privilege of knowing him nearly my entire life so I’m one of the blessed ones. God bless you Anthony.
Beautiful, serene and simple ceremony, as he would have wanted it!
What a lovely soul Anton was! I worked with him in Dubai for many, many years, and I have amazing memories of those days. Great fun, loads of laughs and a real connection of the heart with his fellow colleagues.
Although I loved many things about him, but one special act of his has always stayed with me. From work, many a times he would walk to the hospital adjacent to our offices, and go and talk to patients in the hospital, sharing a kind word, asking if there was anything he could do for them, making them laugh etc. The staff there knew him well and always allowed him to go and do his ‘service’. I was always touched with this beautiful selfless act of his. A deeply religious man, remarkable, and with a big heart, he spread happiness and energy all the time.
My heartiest condolences go to Thelma, the children and the whole family. Anton will surely be missed, and remembered very, very fondly, and always with a smile! May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may he spread happiness and laughter amongst the angels in his heavenly abode!
A life beautifully lived!
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. May Anthony’s soul rest in peace. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let Perpetual light shine upon him.
Dear Thelma,Mario and Marianne – with hearfelt condolences ,we share in your sorrow with love and friendshipas our beloved brother Anton is on his way to his eternal home in heaven.
May his soul rest in peace . Amen

Please accept our deepest sympathies 🙏
Dear Thelma, Mario and Marianne,
Our deepest condolences to you and all your family members.
Anthony was a man of character and principles, simple and loving always willing to help, putting everybody’s needs before himself. I shall always cherish those wonderful times we shared together ever since the days I first met him when he worked at Rashid hospital when he would walk to work just to keep fit. He was an original member of our Rosary group in Dubai, now over 30 years old. Anthony was loved by everybody and shall be fondly missed. May his soul RIP, and may God grant his family the strength to cope with his irreplaceable loss.

My heartfelt sympathies to Thelma and Marianne. May Anthony soul rest in peace.
Dear Thelma, Mario and Marianne, Please accept our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences on the sad demise of our dear Anton (Anthony).
Anthony was our good friend who always cheered us up, gave us a listening ear and offered all moral support and sound advice.
Anthony will always be in our daily prayer at Holy Mass and Rosary. We are sure Jesus has called him to Himself through the powerful intercession of St. Francis of Sales (whose Feast day is commemorated on the very same day Anthony died (24th January) during the Novena to St. John Bosco.
Take courage Thelma as we keep you too in prayer. You have always been a pillar of strength and supporting guide to your family, and to all of us teachers at ‘Dubai Scholars High School’, Dubai for almost two decades. You have been a great mother to Mario and Marianne in all their growing years.
Surely Anthony is now interceding for us all as he rests peacefully in the arms of Jesus Our Saviour under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother Mary, Help of Christians. May his soul now Rest In Peace !! With fond regards and prayerful wishes, Maurino and Olyn Alphonso
