Tribute to Antony French, 1961 - 2025

Dedicated to the memory of Tony

We have created this tribute page to remember Tony French. The most wonderful husband, loving father, kind friend and a true gentleman who was taken from us far too soon.

Please join us in this space to share memories of Tony and remember what a couragous and thoughtful man he was.

We have chosen for donations to go to Farleigh Hospice who were a great support in Tony’s final few days. It was his wish to be there at the end and they fulfilled this with so much love and care. We will be forever grateful to them.

I didn't get to know Tony for too long but in the couple times I met him, a gentleman in every sense of the word. And he made a real impact on me in such a short space of time. Sending prayers and love to the whole family.

Tony was such a lovely man and was taken MUCH too soon. We shall miss his infectious smile and his wonderful sense of humour. He contributed so much to the world of Bridge in Essex: teaching, running two different clubs, organising Bridge Holidays, and several original and very enjoying events. He never stopped smiling, even when the going got tough.
