DJ1935 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Sadly I have just learnt of the passing of a great friend and talented Saddler from Tasmania. I "found" Tony here on the Leatherworkernet some years ago and he became a good friend although we never actually spoke to each other. He helped me through all sorts of leather problems and sent me patterns and lots of patience guidence. I dont think a day went by when Tony hadnt logged on to the Leatherworkernet - he loved to see what everyone was doing and making. The leather world will be much poorer for the passing of a great man. Farewell TONYC1 My condolences to family and friends. Donna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We communicated often via email, and he was always extremely interested in world affairs, as well as those that affected him and his family in Tasmania. We also shared a great interest in archaeology, and he was always keen to hear of my experiences of working with the Time Team in the UK. I shall miss him.
