It is with a heavy heart I announce the passing, as a result of a sudden heart attack of Tony Manders, sole proprietor of Regency Florists in London Ont. Although he was not a member of this forum, Tony Manders was very active in the floral community in London and North America. Tony was part of the seven member London Florist Association. Tony was well known by his customers and friends for his many workshops and his willingness to lend a hand to many local charities.Tony was also a sponsor of an orphanage in Vietnam, which he took his holidays every year and went to visit. He would always return with pictures of the children and of the changes he was able to make with his donations. Always willing to lend a hand to those who were less fortunate, and also willing to help out his fellow florist. Such a sudden passing, we will all miss him. I just thought there may be a few people that had met Tony over the years here and they might like to know.
