Deepest sympathies to the family of Tony, a true gentleman.
He was so good to us in the Moy club and will always be remembered for his kindness.
May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Very sad to hear this 😔 Tony and my Dad were in hospital together recently on the same ward. Opposite each other but sadly unable to communicate. His sons David and PJ soon became part of my daily visits we had to the ward. I enjoyed our little chats and it soon became known that Tony and my Dad Greg, played music together in Knock back in the late 60s. Sincere condolences to all the Dolly family. I will be thinking of you over the next few days. Here’s hoping our Dads are now having a musical reunion 🙏🏻
Please accept our sincerest condolences to Mary, PJ, David, Sharon, Tony’s extensive family and friends, and his niece Olivia. May Tony rest in peace. He was a true gentleman whom I had the distinct privilege of knowing.
Condolences to all family & friends of Tony at this time may he RIP.
