Anthony 'Tony' Simpkin (1 Nov 1933 - 27 Jul 2021)

In memory of Tony. Thinking of you Marion. With love from James, Kim, Ellie and Finley

Tony, such a kind and lovely man. My thoughts are with you Marion x

Rest in Peace Tony.

We were so sad to hear of Tony’s passing, especially because we hadn’t been able to see him for longer than we had wished given the Covid restrictions.

Mia (Marion’s name given by our eldest daughter Josie) and Toto (ditto) are very very special to us all. They have been a massive part of ours and our children’s life for so long and we love them dearly.

Tony was always immaculately presented and always keen to hear what we had been up to. Always with a smile and a cup of tea or wine sometimes.

Mia and Toto made such a lovely couple. A real example of a long lasting and loving relationship, and a happy marriage all values that we aspire to and can learn from.

We will miss our Toto and will do our best to support Mia going forwards.

Rest in peace Toto, aka Tony.

Ollie, Amanda, Josie, Isabella and Toby xxxxx

Someone so special can never be forgotten.

In loving memory of Uncle Tony, always kind and funny. Our thought with Aunty Marian.

Love and Best Wishes

Gavin, Heather and family

Fond memories of our good times together at William Prettys, Bejoss & Vastway.

In loving memory of Tony from Jean and Roy

Tony was a wonderful brother-in-law and friend the best. We will always remember the lovely holidays we had together and the time we shared. He was such fun and always honest, we will miss him so much. We are so proud to have known him. We loved him as we will continue to love Marian and help her all we can at this very sad time. Until we meet again Tony, love Jean and Roy

A lovely gentleman in the true sense, he was kind caring and he had a wonderful sense of humour. Will miss him greatly. Malcolm and Glenis

Deepest sympathy to a dear friend

I was so sad to hear about the passing of my uncle Tony. Although I knew it would eventually happen, it doesn’t make it any easier. I will always remember him as a mountain of a man with a very kind and loving heart to my auntie. Last time I physically saw my uncle Tony I was only 14. This was when my mom and I came over from the United States to visit. That was my first experience riding on the wrong side of the car and driving on the wrong side of the road! It was my first time playing snooker, my first time golfing, and my first time playing badmitton, thanks to my uncle Tony and my cousin Paul. Way too many
good memories to list. What I remember the most is how much my auntie and uncle loved each other, how happy they were, and how much fun they had together. They were the true definition of unconditional love. I believe my mom and uncle Tony are up in Heaven smiling and laughing looking down on all of us, telling us not to be sad and that we will all be together again one day.
Love and prayers,
Aaron and Mandy Aspel

A wonderful man. Always making a joke and raising a smile. My oldest son has fond memories playing football with him in the garden. Rest in peace, love to Marian. Kelly, Dom, Thomas and Noah xx

We were very sad to hear of Uncle Tony's passing. Growing up, I remember him as such a strong, intelligent and humorous man. He was always immaculately dressed too! He took me to the zoo when I was young and lost his shoe...now there's a story! I remember one Christmas he took a liking to a particular bottle of my Dad's home-made wine and was completely sober until he tried to stand up, only to discover that his legs didn't work!! Tony was a wonderful wordsmith too and was especially talented at writing a letter of complaint. He used to write two letters; one he would send and the other he would show to us as the version he wanted to send...they were hilarious! We will miss him terribly, and send all our love to Auntie Mary (yes, it's Marion, but I couldn't say it when I was little so she's Mary to me!) in her time of grief. Much love. Paul, Louise and Evie xxx

I have fond memories of my cousin Tony’s visits to Kent and as my sister Sandra said he was always full of fun. Love and sympathy to Marion from Graham and Sue Simpkin

I hope this helps with research into this dreadful illness

In Memory of my Uncle Tony, a good man and a keen golfer (with whom I regret I never played a game..perhaps in heaven ?) Love Andy, Fiona, Cc and Nick Simpkin
