He was charismatic, funny, passionate and so very loved by Hayley, his family and his friends all over the world.
“Hayley is now living her worst nightmare and facing life without Tony…her soulmate,” Joanne continued. “She is in Bouillac having to deal with the difficulties of Tony being an Englishman with Australian residency living in France … all while experiencing a crushing amount of grief and disbelief in a foreign country.”Le Tarn Libre said the tragedy was “surprising” to both attendees and organizers as “there was no wind or storm,” according to a translation.
