Peter MacDonald wrote a sympathy message

“Ann and family, Our sincere condolences on the passing of Tony. As a school trustee or Chair of the Cobequid Foundation, he made life better for so many people in the Beaver Bank and Sackville communities. His quiet demeanor, clear thinking and dry wit made it a pleasure to know him and work with him on community causes. As a friend he was great company over a pint at the local pub or seeing him enjoy his time as a member of the Tartan Team. Our thoughts are with you. Peter & Claire”
