Martin Clarke, has created a GoFundMe page to help Tony’s family.

Martin said: “Tony was one of my best friends and I am trying to help raise some money for his family – to help towards funeral costs.

“He was such a loyal friend with a one of a kind sense of humour and he was a loving dad.

“I feel like this is one of the final things we can do to help our friend.

“Any donation would be greatly appreciated, small or large.

“I hope this helps the family.”
