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.
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
I am extremely lucky to have known Tony as he was a great bloke, a good teammate and always a friendly face at the clubhouse. He will be sorely missed....
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.
It is a privilege to have known Tony, always having an understanding what the umpiring decision he missed, but never forgetting you make the game. A friendly face up for a beer and chat.
It was a privilege to have known Tony who will always be remembered as a truly great bloke! Derek and Linda.
Tony was great company and I will miss his friendly & happy demeanour. RIP Tony
Great memories of Hockey Club Dinner Dance with Tony and Pip.
What a great friend and work colleague! The Stratford sessions will never be the same.
Top Bloke !
I only knew Tony for a few years but he welcomed me to the club. Playing on the same team and the after game discussion was a pleasure. Thank you Tony
Tony was not the best hockey player, far from the best umpire, but one of the very best men I had the pleasure to meet. RIP Tony
Tony will always be the very best example of what a teammate should be
Tony was not the best hockey player, and far from the best umpire, but one of the very best blokes I had the pleasure of meeting. RIP Tony
An incredible gentleman who will be truly missed.
Tally ho chap, thinking of you today and your great stories as you hold court at the club

Top bloke, great family, very happy memories over donkey's years of knowing them
One of the many walks together over the last 40 years. July 2013. Lovely lovely man.
A great guy, always friendly, missed by everyone.
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.
The end of an era - we shall not see his like again, either on the hockey pitch or off it. I count myself privileged to have known Tony and will miss him greatly, as I'm sure will everyone who knew him. My thoughts are with Pip and all his family.

Walking poles ... knee bandages ... plenty of tea ... the occasional beer ... Katie Melua tunes ... meandering conversations ... lots of (completely unnecessary) apologies - and he did it! What an inspiration - privileged to be a team mate for 190 miles!
1975 and our first trip to Le Mans. Since he worked in Purchasing we put him in charge of buying lunch. He reckoned it was cheaper if we bought in bulk.
Noctorum Dynamos 1969/70 where I first met Tony. Great times then and later at Brooklands Hockey Club and as flat mates in Manchester. There are so many funny and happy memories of time spent with a great bloke and great friend. Thank you Tony.
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.
5 years ago today. Catherine and now Tony lost to us in the space of 3 months. What times we had together!
