Tony will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

We are conscious that some people from the time when Tony was at the School may not be in contact with us and we would ask if you could pass on this information to those that you know.

As is the usual practice, we would like to place an obituary for Tony in the 2023-24 OI Journal and would be very grateful for any stories or memories you may wish to share which we could put together for the publication. We are putting together this journal now and therefore need any submissions within the next 7 days. Please address any contributions to me through oldipswichians@ipswich.school

I remember Tony from sport as a hard hitting attacking batsmen in the first 11 and as a good rugby player.

I also remember Tony as a great link to the outside world for us boarders when I was in Highwood. He also had access to a car! On a Friday or Saturday evening he would occasionally arrange to fetch us and take us to a pub or even a local party in Ipswich, which was pretty exciting for a naive chap like myself! I think the car was possibly an Austin 1100 and Cracklin Rosie by Neil Diamond seemed to be on the car radio most of the time! Which would fit with about 1970.
