A key member of "the 9" that were not only a team of work colleagues but were great friends. Tony's dedication to the job and sense of humour played a great part in the work hard, play hard and enjoy it culture of our working lives together.
We will miss him greatly

Funeral Director
In loving memory of Anthony Johnson who sadly passed away on 25th May 2020.
Tony was a great husband, dad and grandfather, and a friend to many. He will be sadly missed.
The family asks that you choose to grieve him in whatever way suits you. There is a memorial book below and a charity page has been set up for donations if you feel so inclined. They've asked for no funeral flower arrangements, however cut flowers/bouquets can be sent direct to the crematorium or to the house.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to Covid-19 the funeral will be family only. Details will be sent on how to stream the funeral nearer to the time. The family will be sorry not to see you at this time but hope to see you all soon.

So many memories of events, incidents, travel, story telling and fun! Great days.... this one happens to be the Heineken cup final at Cardiff in 2011. Farewell Tony. You'll be missed.

The end of a day's walk. The 'lads' walking always ends the day with a visit to the pub and of course an evening meal. Tony loved his French food and fortunately we were able to dine in this lovely little French bistro close to where we stay.

One of the many walks together over the last 40 years. July 2013. Lovely lovely man.

Tony will be greatly missed on our 'lads' walking trips in the Lakes. We have walked together for over 40 years. Tony loved the mountains and lakes. Here we are on our penultimate walk around Loughrigg, one of his favourites. RIP Tony.
