I'm absolutely Gutted to hear this news. Tony was a rock for Widnes during some very hard years. He worked so hard and pumped a lot of his own time and money into this club. He was, as has already been stated, a very affable and approachable man and a true gentleman in every sense of the word. I've even swapped pm's with him on the Widnes messageboard - how many chairmen would do that?
The next time I go and take my seat in the South Stand of our wonderful stadium, I'll reflect on just how much work Tony put in to help make this happen. The great youth system we now have was put in place under his stewardship and I'll always thank him for the 4 years of SL RL I enjoyed, thanks in most part, to his efforts off the field.
RIP Tony
