Rip Tony

Another sad day for the Corps At the passing of a good lad A loving husband A fantastic dad Airborne blood running through your veins Leading from the front pulling those reins Inspiring your men to do there best A true gent and friend I do not jest A real pleasure to have served with you In Blandford and elmpt to name but a few I knew you as geordie on our class 1 Now that was a course we had great fun Pride and teamwork some values you had Jumping out of planes you were mad On terra firma football was your game The Corps team won't ever be the same Condolences go out to family far a wide A true legend just can not hide Up in heaven looking over us Keeping calm saying what's the fuss Stand easy Tony your pain is gone Your legacy of life will go on As this poem comes to an end I raise a glass for a strong leader and friend Certa Cito
