Dearest uncle Tony,
When I think of you I think or fairies and angels, happy little dogs, smiles over cups of tea and biscuits, your quiet chuckle and rugby. You and aunty Joan are more like grandparents than an uncle and aunty to me. There is a special place in my heart and memories, a piece of you, that will stay with me forever. Whenever I taste a custard cream, see a little yorkie, or spot a rugby game on the TV, I'll think of you. Of your kind smile and your big bear hugs. Love you always x

In loving memory of Anthony John Harman who sadly passed away on 22nd September 2018
Anthony John Harman, known to most as Tony. Born on Thursday 8th February 1940, to Doris and Henry Harman, having two elder siblings, a sister, Maureen and a brother Patrick. He also had a close relationship through his life with his twin cousins Jackie and Pauline, who he always held a very soft spot for
He went to Becontree School and later went on to study at Barking Technical College. He grew up and became a meagre 6'7" in height. A gentle giant
Tony had an insatiable love for all sports, which turned into a love of playing, both cricket and rugby for local teams when he attended college. As you can well imagine is height became an enormous asset
On many occasions when he was younger he travelled with Club Med to many different countries. When he was 50 he travelled to America, a trip of a lifetime for him, having always wanting to go there, where he travelled through Florida with the highlight being his visit to NASA
Earlier in his life he loved jazz, and later turned to the Classics - Opera, Orchestral, Andre Rieu and beautiful singers such as Mario Lanza, Andrea Bocelli, Lucianno Pavrotti and Jose Carreras
Tony was a very gentle and loving person, who adored having a chat (and boy, could he chat), joking and laughing with everyone he came across. But, no matter what, there was ALWAYS a smile. He will be sadly missed
Please don't cry
just because we had to part
as long as you remember me
I'll live on in your heart '
