Tony Mouchi (31 Mar 1940 - 16 Sep 2017)

In loving memory of Tony Mouchi who sadly passed away on 16th September 2017.
We will all miss Dad, Grandad and Mums affectionate nickname between them "old man" very much as it is still such a shock and everyone is still in such disbelief. We all are still thinking he is down the van and will walk back through the front door any day now.

Dad was always so happy and loved to play pranks on people or always trying to get a laugh and I hope everyone has happy memories to treasure of Dad and his huge smile.
A story that I always loved to hear and be told from Mum and Dad was the one where when they had both just started courting each other and Mum was doing her nurse training and lived in quarters at St George's Hospital and it was all very strict back then, doors locked, lights out at 10.30pm I think it was and NO BOYS allowed in the rooms. Dad climbed the drain pipe to mums room to see her, I always found it very romantic and fun to hear about how they were as a couple.

I have so many happy times with my Dad and was and will always be a Daddy's girl.
Dad drove me all around the country to auditions, wherever I was to be working that year. He saw EVERY SHOW I have danced in at least once and did love travelling the country to come vist me. He loved the views both countryside, sea view and to see his little girl perform and I must get that from him.

He and Paul enjoyed going to vist Rebecca at the pub she worked in, in Putney on their karaoke nights of course.
Dad, as everyone knows LOVED HIS KARAOKE and I may be a little bias but he was good and had HIS songs he loved to sing and music was a big part of his enjoyment in life along with his HUGE amount of friends down at combe haven. Every weekend nearly without fail he could be found at the Saxon Centre singing karaoke and sitting & drinking with George and sooooo many others I am sure I couldn't list you all without forgetting someone, but you all know who you are as he had so many wonderful friends and known by so many down there as "The silver fox".

A BIG memory that I know EVERY SINGLE ONE of us kids will remember is sitting on Dads shoulders on the back of the sofa and combing and doing his hair, prentending he is at the hair dressers, From Mark, Paul, me & Dawnie, through ALL of the Bennetts down to all the grandchildren from Rebecca, Aurora, Amelia & Dylan & many others.
As EVERYONE called him Grandad and I know he was so proud to have so many grand children blood related or extended family He loved us ALL XXXX.
I will take comfort in the fact that he did get to met and hold Bonnie and we have pictures of them together to show her when she is older.

Suzi said to me that Dad has just gone to the next room and I like that and will take comfort that Dad and Dawnie are now back together with each other in the next room waiting to party and sing karaoke with us when we get there. I also expect with those two being back together A LOT of pranks are going to be played on us all xxxx

Dad touched so many lives and will be missed by so many. Please do share your memories you have with him on this page.
As you may have seen there is a section to donate to Great ormond street childrens hospital, we chose this charity as Dad ALREADY did donate to them each month. Thank you to anyone who does in advance.

Dad, Grandad, Old Man, Silver Fox, we LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SO VERY DEARLY, ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS, FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS XXXX
