Sending my sincere condolences to the whole family, especially to Tony’s mom. Last time I spoke with Tony he was happy as he was able to visit his mom just before Easter.
So sorry to hear the news about Tony. He was a very special person. We were long distance friends for many years that began through our work at Ash Temple Ltd and continued during our time at Henry Schein. I will miss our many talks over the years. Your memories will keep him alive in your hearts.

He always had a kind word or thought for me and my family, often inquiring on what they were doing. My thoughts and prayers are extended to the Dolinar family.
I remember our funny talks in the hallway at work and that laugh. Rest in peace Tony
My sincere condolences to the family. Tony loved to chit chat. We would stand in the hallway and our conversation would keep going and going. Loved to hear his stories and his thoughts. I am glad I met Tony through work. He always had a smile no matter what, he was always happy and extremely helpful in many ways. Miss you friend, RIP.
Dear Emma , Andrew and family. Your Sisters of the St. John Vianney Catholic Women’s League are truly saddened at the loss of your brother, Tony. All of you will be in our prayers for strength, faith and hope in the promises of God that we will all meet again in Eternal Glory.
I Am Standing Upon The Seashore.
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, “There, she is gone”
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me — not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, “There, she is gone,”
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”
And that is dying…
Death comes in its own time, in its own way.
Death is as unique as the individual experiencing it.

My sincere condolences to Tony’s family. I’m sure that his friendly personality and sense of humor left an impact and good memories for all who knew him.
My sincere condolences and many blessings for Tony’s family. I only knew Tony through work. I found him to be a happy, sharing, and easy-going kind of guy. I shall miss our weekly chats and discussions about our work. He will be missed in our building.
My most sincere condolences to the entire Dolinar family. Tony will be greatly missed.
I wish the entire Dolinar family my condolences in this difficult time.
A nicer and funnier and smart guy you would be hard to find. I lunched with Tony along with Reta Bertrand, Elizabeth Cowie, Shawn McDonnell and Sylvie Arseneau for years and Tony kept our humour levels high. He often talked about visiting his mother at lunch and how much he enjoyed that along with seeing his siblings and other family members when he could get to Toronto. He was also not shy to talk about most topics at lunch unless the ladies brought up something that was uncomfortable so he and I would have our own discussion with Shawn. 🙂
I also had the pleasure to work closely with Tony over the last 14 plus years and his knowledge and practical approach and cutting out the nonsense was appreciated.
My work brother you will be missed.
So sorry to hear Tony’s passing. I have got know Tony through work, he was always encouraging, kind and supportive. whenever I had a chance to talk to tony, it always end up with infectious smiles. RIP, Tony. You will be greatly missed.
Good bye to my big brother, you’ll be sorely missed. Your words of encouragement and enthusiasm for my big move to British Columbia will always be remembered. I’ll always remember the million walks we went on, to High Park, Grenadier Pond, walking out to the break wall on a frozen Lake Ontario; I’ll remember your tolerance when 2 younger sisters pestered you to play with them and you did so graciously and patiently; I’ll remember you deciding to explore the attic and the next thing I knew you’re leg was dangling through the ceiling and boy did you get in trouble; I’ll remember the jars of peach and apricot jam you made every year and shared. And I’ll never forget your patience, because it was needed, when you stayed with us after your surgery and you had to live with our newly rescued kitten “Little One” who meowed 24/7 while she got comfortable in our home. Sorry I can’t be there to say good bye, but I’ll be watching. You won’t be forgotten, little things will always trigger fond memories. Love always, Cathy
My most sincere condolences to the Dolinar family.

My sincere condolences to the family. I cannot express my sadness at learning of Tony’s passing. Tony was much more than a colleague; he was a friend. I will miss his infectious smile; I will miss his wit and playfulness. Tony could be gruff on the outside but if you truly knew Tony he was all marshmallow on the inside. Rest in peace my friend… I will miss that mischievous twinkle in your eyes.
My condolences to the family and loved ones. I am so glad I had a chance to know Tony, he is a special person and will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the Dolinar family. Every person leaves a stamp in this world in their very own way. Similarly Tony left an impression on all those he knew and worked with that will stay forever. Integrity and hard work are the ideals that he promoted. Determination and honesty is what his work reflected. His sense of humor and unforgettable laugh will be greatly missed. Our sharing of recipes for home preserving will be cherished forever. As I watch the apricot blossoms turn into the delicious fruit you loved I will think of you with a smile. Rest in peace my friend, until we meet again.
My condolences to the family. I’ve known Tony for 22 year since our Ash Temple Days. Every time we chatted Tony always had the right words along with his laughter. My friend I will miss you and our chats. R.I.P Tony

Tony and I were at St. Mike’s together in the early seventies. We didn’t talk to each other a great deal but when we did I always found Tony to be a very kind, sensitive and considerate person. I know I enjoyed being in his company. I had not seen him since our days at St. Mike’s but his passing still came as quite a shock. In 2008 I encouraged him to attend our thirtieth anniversary reunion at St. Mike’s but he did not attend and now I regret that I did not try harder. I know his presence on earth he will be missed. With God’s grace may he rest in eternal peace.
I’m sorry to learn of Tony’s passing. He was a significant contributor to our purchasing group for so many years and was so well thought of. I enjoyed that easy laugh and sense of homour.
