Incredibly sad news last week about having to say a loving final farewell to our friend Tony, (Anthony David Vearncombe), aged 88 years. Tony meant so much, to so many of us, for so many years, as a friend, colleague, racing tipster, mentor, inspiration and so much more. His history with the Jo Bird goes way back to 1979, a full 45 years. He has been a vital part of the company either as a subcontractor or as an employee ever since. Always smiling, uncomplaining, positive, amusing, and with plenty of stories to tell. He was a great example to us all, not letting the increasing years stop him working and making the most of his life. He was a wonderful, caring, warm man whose company we shall all miss greatly, we were privileged to have him in our lives. Thank you from us all, for everything, Tony.
