A TRIBUTE

My wife, Sheila, and I wish to offer the Edgington Family our sincere condolences on the passing of our dear, longstanding friend, Tony Edgington.

I had the privilege of meeting Tony in the offices of J.C. Sproule & Associates over 60 years ago, and as the years passed, I discovered many special qualities about this remarkable man. He had a “Touch of Class”, sincerity and consideration for others, impeccable manners and an aristocracy that had nothing to do with wealth. Tony and Eloise loved to sail, and together with my wife Sheila, we loved our travels to the West Indies and New Zealand with them for sailboat racing. We also enjoyed many wonderful evenings of Scottish dancing and birthday celebrations together as Tony and Sheila celebrate the same birthdate, June 1st. His lifetime was filled with many friendships and activities, and he will be sorely missed.

George McAlister Hunter

An honest man here lies at rest,

As e’er God with His image blest:

The friend of man, the friend of truth;

The friend of age, and guide of youth:

Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,

Few heads with knowledge so inform’d:

If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;

If there is none, he made the best of this.
