Anthony Colin Haworth (22 Mar 1962 - 4 Nov 2020)

This page isn't going to be deleted or not be able to be posted on I know but I'd like to say thank you to you all,which I/Reece/Julie and my mum,really really do mean. Some of you knew him a short while some longer but clearly everyone loves the time you spent with him. He may not be with us visually (which let's be honest,vision wasn't his strong point) but I and I think you will all agree is that he is still with us in our own personal way. I'm sorry if anyone doesn't like the jokey side of this comment,please remember in all seriousness that he was a joker and loved a one liner and at the same time was serious when he had to be. Please don't stop writing things (not saying write on here everyday) because like me and like you,there's plenty we could all write on here. And also,you know that when you've finished writing and go to press submit....you know that you'll have a smile on your face no matter how long or short that message may be. Once again,we really do thank you all for all your comments. Love you Dad Xxxx

Dad,I miss you everyday and would do anything for even just 1 minute with you again. As everyone else has said you always had a smile on your face,a story to tell or a music fact to tell but the best thing about all of them is that it's my dad that is smiling/telling a story or music fact. Another best part of it all....is that some of the stories,I would of been a part of. The best story ever,which I don't think you've told anyone (trust me,I have),is-about midnight and just finished rehearsal at pease Pottage and you had your Marshall 4x12 in the boot of the Sierra,unfortunately you didn't push it far enough into the boot of the car and as you closed the boot,all I've heard is SMASH of glass and 'Oh ******* hell!' It's raining while this is going on aswell. I told myself repeatedly for about 5 seconds to not laugh but I couldn't stop laughing....until we set off and then I realised how cold it was without a back window! Then,we still had to pick the coach up for the little yard and when were putting the amps/bass etc in the coach you fell in the pit of the next bay to the coach 'K2 CLC'. Upon doing this,which was but wasnt funny I decided for some reason to remind you that not 2 minutes before that you told me to 'watch out,there's no coach above that pit and it's quite a fall' which looking back you quite rightly responded with 'just get the silver case,put it in there and get in the coach' 'but Dad,there's 3 or 4 more bits after that' 'just the silver 1 Ads and then the coach....oh and sit 2/3 rows back and maybe get your head down'. We were only going Horley to Redhill,I never understood why I would need to get my head down....not exactly a long trip. I miss our conversations about the boys/life/music but having had them conversations,are memories that I'll never forget and remind myself of everyday. Always know that me,Reece,Julie,Mum and all your grandchildren love you. Miss you dad,sending you a kiss. Love you XxxX Miss you XxxX

It was a pleasure working with you Tony, a smashing chap who will be sorely missed.

Love and hugs to your family and all who knew you x

What a kind and lovely gentleman! I knew Tony ever since he started at AXA and he was always a smiling, cheerful and empathetic person which made the world and work a better place for us all! My condolences to his family - he will be sorely missed at AXA.

You were in my life for almost 16 years. You were just like a father to me. There are too many things I want to say but the most important is I love you ❤️
Goodbye Fudge.

Such sad news, thinking of all the family.

RIP Tony.

Such a lovely man, always smiling. Listening to you laughing at lunch while watching your phone, cheered me up no end. Always chatting about our Kids. You are really going to be missed Tony. Thinking of Rhys & Adam & rest of the family at this sad time. RIP Tony. Love Karin, Kris & Kerrie xxx

I’ll always remember the time when we used to sit together at work, listening to your stories and also the laughing and joking we used to do. It was a bit of a thing that we used to have custard tarts on our desks. I think the story that sticks out the most and even all these years later makes me
chuckle was the day after my first date with my now husband when I turned up to work wearing borrowed clothes and how you turned around and said quite loudly ‘Well someone clearly didn’t go home last night!’

It was a pleasure knowing you mate, my condolences to your loved ones!

Morning Tone, you ok? do you want a drink?
45 minute chat about life later lol

Your coach driving stories, one about pigeon I won’t forget, your singing, your children, and so many more.

You were genuinely one of the nicest and I’m so sad that you have gone.

Rest in peace Tony xx

RIP Tony, you will be sorely missed by your friends at AXA. Unfortunately, I didn't have as much interaction over the 10 years with you as I would have liked (working on a different floor made that difficult), , but in the days when I used to hand out the payslips we would always have a little giggle - You were a true gent - Thinking of your family at this time, and big hugs to all your friends you have left behind at AXA

I met Tony in Accu-chek about 14 years ago. We became instant friends and used to sit next to each other all the time. We would sing together, laugh and share funny stories. He would tell me where he was going with his band at each weekend and how much he loved music. I was new to the company and he took me under his wing and whenever I got stuck on calls, he would always know the answer. As we became good friends, he introduced me to Linda who is such a lovely lady, they both met my girls. Tony loved his boys/family. Always proud and wanting to help them where he could.
Once we moved on to different departments, I would bump into Tony in the corridors and he'd always say "Alright mate" we would stop and make sure each of us were okay.

Such a kind and lovely man. We will really miss him xxxxx

Dear Tony,
You will be missed very much! You always had something nice to say. You always had a joke, a funny story for any situation. You cheered everyone up around you. Such a gentle, warm soul, a true gentleman . Rest in peace, my thoughts are with your family in this difficult time!

I was never able just to say hi to Tony of a day. You'd walk past say a greeting and then before you know we've been discussing rock and heavy metals bands for 40 minutes till someone told us to actually do some work lol.
We both played bass guitar and spent alot of time discussing who had the better gear (he did) and dream guitars and the such.
Will miss those chats but least I got to have them.
