Anthony Valerio (23 Feb 1947 - 21 Aug 2021)

Anton was a lovely man - part of my teen years. Glad I got chance to see him again years later at Mark & Charlotte’s wedding. All love to the Valerios x

Deepest Sympathy

Sending love and sincere condolences to Anton’s family from Anne and Miriam.

Many fond memories of family summer visits to Largs and fun times on the beach at the Pencil. Thinking of you all.

I am truly sorry that personal circumstances prevent me from attending, but my sympathy andlove goes out to all of the family there. I think of Anton as both the big brother that I never had and as the replacement to the father that I lost too soon. He inspired me to be as mischievious and as fun-loving as he was, to strive to be as fit as he was and to take nothing (especially ourselves) too seriously. My tall, slim elegant physique (don't laugh) is entirely due to his frequent neck-strtching lifts which seemed to be a veiled threat to his siblings and to his other cousins, but a well established ritual with respect to me. Even on his last visit with David to Largs, I could see his eyes staring at my neck and I just knew he was thinking, "You are lucky that one of my hands is a little shaky or your feet would be off the ground". He was known as a comic but that disguised a genuine sensitivity which he possesed and which I experienced on many an occasion. Goodbye my desrest cousin and thank you for more than I could adequately express in words.

With so many fond memories of all dear Anton's laughs jokes and fun. May you rest in peace dear cousin 🙏

You leave behind many fond memories. You will be missed. Love and sympathy to family and friends.
Your cousin Maria

Wishing everyone peace, sending all our love in our absence and always remembering Anton with a smile

Now in a better place, with all the books you wish to read and all the sport you like such as playing rugby for Scotland.
Love from Jenny and Peter xx.
