Anthony and I met at yoga in Dorchester and he immediately showed his zest for life and his empathy for everyone.He was a lovely man and quietly listened, but if he spoke it would be witty and very thoughtful and wise. We had yoga sessions in his beautiful garden in Charminster a few times when the weather was good and he and Beryl were super hosts.He will be sorely missed and my condolences to Beryl and his daughters.He was so proud of his family. A beautiful soul and we are all the better having known him. May he rest in eternal peace .

A generous, witty, loveable friend who will be much missed.

Thinking about Anthony many words come to mind - kind, thoughtful, considerate. An example of this would be his alertness to others. If ever he felt someone in a group was feeling a little left out he would get alongside that person to ensure they felt included. And of course another word would be courage. Anthony never allowed his affliction to overcome him. Over the years, as his mobility lessened, he never allowed it to define him. Anthony just carried on, cheerful, interested in others, always engaged in the business of living. A remarkable man.
