My sincere condolences to Cecile, Kane and Nancy, Lilian and Richard, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
We may not have kept in touch however I have often thought of your family. It seems Ike yesterday Cecile when Matthew and Marie Claire were in my class.
I always admired Toni for his joie de vivre and his musical abilities. Cecile my heart goes out to you. May God give you the strength to get through this challenging time.
Try to remember the good times. Toni will continue to be your guardian Angel.
I’m so glad I had the honour, and pleasure to know Toni, I always looked forward to seeing his smile, hear his laugh and his funny comments. You will be missed.
Lieve Cily, Lilian en Kane,
Gecondoleerd met het overlijden van Ton.
Met grote schok heb ik kennis genomen van dit droeve bericht.
We hebben elkaar maar een paar keer ontmoet, maar ik heb hem leren kennen als een warme geïnteresseerde oom, met een gulle lach.
Ik wens jullie veel sterkte toe.
Liefs,
Ludger
On behalf of my family I extend our deepest condolences on the recent loss of Toni.
I have profound memories of Toni being the choir director at St. Mary Immaculate Church in Richmond Hill.
I will always treasure the precious time, singing in the choir.
Thank you Toni.
Ida Foch and family.
Lieve familie, het is verschrikkelijk voor jullie en wij weten hoe het voelt om een ouder te verliezen ook al weet je dat het soms beter is. Het maakt het verlies niet minder. Héél, héél veel sterkte, liefs Sandra en Marcel
Dear family, I’d like to share a story about oom Ton.
When I lived in their house in Richmond Hill when I was 17 yrs, many years ago, he would always give me a lift to my work in Yonge Street. But I was always late…. One day he waited till I was close to the car door, and then he drove off very fast, leaving me on the driveway. I was of course very surprised and angry, now I had to go by bus and came way to late. That night he explained to me why he did it, calmly and seriously. It was a good lesson, I don’t think I was ever late again.
Love, Han
I will miss seeing Toni at Mass alongside you Cecille and family. What a sense of humour Toni had. He was upbeat through his physical problems. My heart goes out to the whole family who will miss him dearly
