Tony was a towering figure -in every sense of the word. I will always remember his kindness when I arrived (from the English School in Cyprus) to do my A'levels at Felsted. I was a little lost initially but his gentle support helped me through and I soon made lots of friends. He made me feel special with his appreciation of my Andrews Society lecture on the poet C P Cavafy and we remained in contact even after I had left the school. I also know that he has many friends in Cyprus from his time there during the 1960s; everyone remembers him very fondly. A remarkable person who has made a great contribution to our world.
