  15. 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 🙏🏻
