To learn who it was in the tragic accident was a shock. I bumped into other extended family in the supermarket yesterday who also said 'what a shock'. Too young!! Condolences to Anthony's immediate family, friends & colleagues.

With great sadness, I've learned of the passing of Anthony. To Adrienne and all the children and grandchildren my greatest condolences. Although it's been many of years since Anthony and Adrienne came to visit me in Halifax, Canada we have kept in touch throughout the years . I was fortunate to have come to Balfour 30 years ago to play rugby for the Balfour Rugby club through a agreement with New Zealand Rugby and Rugby Canada. The experience of playing in New Zealand and more importantly meeting both Anthony and Adrienne left a profound impact on my life. They took me in and employed me on their farm in Balfour at the time . Anthony was like a older brother to me and Adrienne like a sister - I felt like a part of the family . I will miss the fact that i didn't get to say goodbye - yet the memories of my time with the Lush family and what they did for me , will never be forgotten ! Anthony you were a true friend, father , husband and rugby brother - RIP till we meet again ! loads of love and big hugs to you Adrienne and the kids - Sincerely Neil Bisson
