I’ve been struggling for words all day but I think my little sister Megan put it best so here it is.
We have tried to remember everyone to call before making a post. Dad would hate to think someone found out via facebook. Sorry if we have missed anyone its been a big day.

Today we lost a husband, dad, grandfather, son, brother, nephew and cousin. A man that has meant so much to many and helped many more.

Through all his health battles he always said that god didn’t want you and the devil was worried you would take over. Well something changed today. We like to think your in heaven watching over us and I am sure you will continue to guide us all through life.

RIP DAD forever in our hearts

Ray Gardoll Tony was also stationed at Ivanhoe in the Barrier District back in 1995-97 by memory. I was at Broken Hill then and met Tony a number of times. I got to speak with Tony back in October at the Barrier Awards Ceremony. His father presented him with his NPSM. Sad to hear of his passing, I was a good guy.
David Aspland I would like to share a funny story. I met Tony in 1995 when he was a Senior Constable at Ivanhoe. I remember his standing joke about his name and family connection (Father was then Commissioner Tony Lauer) :”Well Dad and I have both done the same thing in our careers. We have both reached out ceiling rank”. . A very likeable and easy going bloke.
Mick Clarke RIP Tony. Had many great times with Tony when he was in the Plantation Unit. His favourite comment was”There’s one thing in common with me and Dad and that’s we’ve both gone as far as we can in the Job.”
Peter Wallace Had a yarn to him on the Hume one day. Drove a truck called the Commish. Lovely bloke. Had our NSW Police crest on the cover of his log book. RIP mate.

  • I worked with Tony at the Registered Clubs Unit and to say he was a ‘character’ is an understatement. We had lots of laughs together, did many country trips and shared many a beer. He was a devoted family man and terrific husband to Dot. Luckily I dropped into Hay and had a coffee with them in September 2017. Little did we know what was coming. Rest in peace mate, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten…….

  • Hello Dot, Joy & Big Tony, Debb, Rodney & Tanya
    We wish you all the best in these unsuspecting hard times of losing young Tony early (because that’s what we knew him as growing up in Bellbrook Ave) our wishes are with you & all other family’s.
    I remember great times being had during get together celebrations in our street.

    Hay has lost a truly great guy, despite his health issues he remained on top. My deepest sympathies to his family, to Dot and their family. He will be deeply missed. RIP Tony
