A true gentleman who is now back with his beloved Catherine. He will be greatly missed as I liked to have “our chats”.
One of the most inspiring people in my life. His devotion to family and his work ethic were second to none and he was a fantastic role model and grandfather to me and an amazing great-grandfather to my daughter whom idolised him as much a I did and still do. We will continue to make him proud and keep our memories of him in our conversations and hearts forever. Thank you grandad for making me the man I am today. Stand easy Staff Sgt Buffery.
Reunited with his soul mate Catherine, together forever ❤️ rest in peace xxx

I am glad I had the opportunity to talk to you before you left us, about how much gratitude and an amazing Dad you were to us all. You were there for me in my early running career and both you and Mum supported me in everything I did. I could not have asked for a more supporting Dad. You were always there for us and we will make you proud. God bless both you and Mum xx
What can I say about Tony, proud Father, Brother, grandad and great grandad. Everyone would all agree in one way or another he has enriched and touched all of our lives and the world was a better place with you in it. Such a selfless and proud man, and a fighter to the end. I am so proud to call you my father-in-law and friend. For all of us it will be a difficult journey ahead, missing the huge void he will leave beind but we will all have fond and happy memories of him to comfort us through this difficult period. Thank you for all the messages of support and stories that you all have shared in the last few weeks and they all showed what a great insparation he was to us all. Tony my friend we all loved you deeply and you will be sadly missed and always in our hearts and thoughts. Wear your flowery shirt I left with you with pride in heaven. Big hugsxx

Such a sad loss. Tony supported me so much in my running, as well as serving alongside my Dad in the Fire Brigade. A lovely, selfless man and a great Coach. Sincere condolences to Tony’s family. RIP Tony.
My wonderful Grandad, the greatest man I know.
How lucky I am to have had you in my life. You have been my biggest supporter, role model and best friend. There is not a moment that has gone by where I haven’t thought of you.
I miss everything about you and still pick up my phone to call you everyday since you left us. I feel so lost without you but I am so grateful for every moment we have had together. From referring my football matches, to our caravan holidays as kids and seeing your proud face at my passing out. These are all memories that I will treasure always.
Your motto was always that you just have to “Get on with it” but this one is so hard. Everything I do is and has been to make you proud. I will ‘Get on with it’ just like you would want, but know I will spend my life missing you. I love you Grandad, finally you can rest. Your Supergirl ❤️
Tony was a friend in and out of work
He would always help anyone and always had some words of advice. He will be sadly missed, thinking of his family at this time RIP MR B
Tony, what an absolute gem of a man! You couldn’t ask for a better person to be a part of your life. Always there for you whenever you needed him, would drop anything to help others. I am so unbelievably happy to have had him in my life for so many years.
I know that so many other people would agree that you Tony are a wonderful man. You should be so proud of everything you have achieved in your incredible lifetime. There is a void in my heart, not talking to you everyday is so difficult, I really do miss you!
Thank you for everything, be with your beloved Catherine, for sure we will see each other again! All my love. Abbie

One of the worlds true gents.

Sleep tight Tony
