Anthony WilliamBROADLEYOn September 20 Tony of Oswaldtwistle passed away peacefully in hospital, with family and friends by his side, aged 70 years. The dearly beloved husband of Rosie, much loved dad of Nicola, Emma and Adam, loving step dad of Ryan and Gary, a much-loved grandad, loving brother of Geoff, Janice, Tricia, John, Philip, Jacqui, Peter and Mandy, a much-loved brother-in-law, uncle, relative and friend. Tony did his apprenticeship as a butcher following his school years and joined the army in 1973, serving for two years as a gunner in the Royal Artillery, based in Lipstadt, Germany. These were happy days for Tony and he loved to reminisce about his time with the army. Tony then returned to his work as a butcher and always and ever remained a meat and two veg man. He loved to do all the cooking at home and, finishing work each day at 2pm, he always had dinner on the table for Rose and the children when they go home. He was a popular and well known gentleman in Oswaldtwistle, known as ‘Tony Butcher’ and he enjoyed his weekends socialising in the pubs on Union Road with his friends. He was a talented pool player and won so many matches, he often had several pints of beer paid on behind the bars. They were lucky to have had Tony on the pool team at The Black Dog. He loved music, and after a few pints loved to sing his favourite song, ‘Zoom’ on the karaoke with full action and not a word missed. He was blessed with a happy, sunshine character and enjoyed the company of young people. Laid back, a man of few words, when he spoke, you listened. He liked his regular trips to the bookies to place a bet on the horses, having a few lucky wins – though he didn’t always tell Rose. Tony and Rose so loved their holidays to Turkey where Tony loved to investigate the area and visit any ruins. He was also adventurous with his food abroad. It was tragic when Tony was struck down with Encephalitis and the illness took over. Rose, together with her supportive and caring sons, looked after Tony, ensuring that he had the best care. The amazing staff at Voyage Care in Burnley, looked after Tony with such compassion and dedication. Tony was a truly lovely gentleman who was loved so deeply by Rose and his family. Donations in lieu of flowers are gratefully being received on behalf of the Encephalitis Society. To make a donation please visit www. champfunerals.com/ obituaries where you can also leave a message for Tony’s online memorial book.
The service and cremation will be held at Accrington Crematorium on Friday, September 29 at 12.20pm.
This will be followed by a celebration of Tony’s life at The West End Arms.
