Anthony John Connolly
He was born on the 5th of October 1958 and died on the 19th of October 2006 after a 3 month battle
in hospital.He was 48 years old when he was took away from us.
God only takes the best, and the day my dad was took away from us, God must have been looking for an
extra special angel and he certainly has gained one.
My dad Tony (my best friend) was born in Gateshead and throughout his life, lived in different
parts of Gateshead, mainly in Low Fell. He worked as a printer and had his own printing buisness,
aswell as doing Northern Soul DJ'n at Wigan Casino.
When he was younger, he used to organise and run trips from Gateshead to Wigan Casino, so he was
very well known and respected.This was proved when 600+ people turned up at his funeral. We held a
northern soul disco on the night of his funeral and the only thing that was missing was him
(the greatest dancer). One of his greatest talents was his northern soul dancing, when i was younger
he would pour talc over the floor and northern soul, he used to try so hard to teach me how to do it
but i never quite got the hang of it, he used to laugh and say i had two left feet. Before the disco
we held for him, me and my cousin Nicola practised till we got the hang of it and i and i know he
would of been proud, watching down on us northern souling as he used to say we both had two left
feet and he would call Nicola "Aveline" as she always wears high shoes, he would tell her
she would never be able to northern soul in high shoes but she managed at the disco, he would of
been looking down on us and laughing.
In april this year, there was a northern disco held in his memory and i know he really would have
been ther, dancing next to, he really was the greatest dancer.
Everyone who knew or met my dad had lots of respect for him as he was such a gentleman and got
along with everyone.
Although he only lived such a short life, he achieved so much and had a fun and exciting life. He
is missed dearly by me and my little brother Michael, his sister Julie, brother Shaun, neice Nicola,
and nephew Joseph aswell as good friend Jackie who also has a page on here for him, and not
forgetting all other family and friends.
Not a day goes by when he isnt in our thoughts, he is missed terribly but is now at peace and he
has joined his mam, dad, gran and other friends and family up there.
The songs on this page were some of my dads favourites.
Faith Hill-There you'll be- The words in the song totally relate to him.
Luther Vandross-So amazing- This was a song he loved, it was his wedding song aswell as funeral
song.
Lou Rolls-youll never find another love like mine-this song was a one he loved he would dance and
sing to it he loved it.
A million times we've needed you.
A million times we've cried.
If our love could have saved you,
You never would have died.
Things we feel most deeply
and the hardest things to say,
My darling dad, we love you
In a very special way.
If we could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that could come true
We'd pray to God with all our hearts
For just one more day with you.
God saw you getting tired dad
A cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
and whispered come live with me
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
and saw you fade away
You know we loved you dearly
but couldnt make you stay
Your golden heart stopped beating
Your eyes were put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
That he only takes the best
Hope you are watching over us all, take care of all of us Dad
Keep on dancing and keep me a space up there on that dancefloor for when we meet again
xxxxxxxxx love you forever xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxx Rest in Peace Dad xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx Sleep Tight My Angel xxxxxxxx
If anyone has any photos of my dad, please add them to this page, thanks
I would like to thank everyone who lights a candle or leaves a tribute or condolence on this page
for my dad.

Every day people come in the shop and when they realise im your daughter they all have such lovely stories to tell about you and i couldnt be more proud. You were my life dad and i would give the world to have you back even just for a day, but then again if you were back for a day i would never want to let you go back. Dad, every day i think off all the things in life that you arent gona be here to do with me and itbreaks my heart. When you left for the better side, you took a huge part of me with you and until we meet again, that part of me will neve return. Well im off round ashleys now but i will beback on soon.

Hello my Darling so so sorry i aint been on in over a month but ive had no Comp at all it totally broke on me. Well yes i am officially engaged the party was last Sat, and you were a massive massive miss i was upset all day on the sat as was our Dionne. I had a great turn out it was a lovely night till the end yup there was a bit of an argument, but as all my dear friends said its not a good party if ther aint a fight haha. (well i no now who to take off my wedding invites ha) Not much happening here not alot to catch up on a bet life in your home has bn more interesting coz i think that there are nicer people up there.Ya good friend Marty and Tracy came to my party was real nice to have some one ther that reminds me totally of you. I took his dinner off my mam yestday and he was absolutely ill hehad bn to sea (the little part timer) bet you would of partied the puff under the table it was quite funny actually coz on a normal Sunday i usually spend that full day looking at the bottom of me mams toilet, but on sat i was in bed by 9.30. Well our Shaun is not well at all he is getting worse and drinking enough for everyone he collasped at o9ur party, i will put the pics on when Dionne brings the lead through and the ones off Martys party. Mind Aunty Eilleen can really move cant she ha should of seen her at the party. I really miss you i cant believe its nearly 2 years since you walked through them hosp doors never to come out again. where does the time go. Marty has got ya sis a cafe well she is in a element feeding folk haha. gonna go up t moz its mince and dumpas. ya favvv. I was suprised Grant never came but maybe he was away for our party, all i can say is he better make it to my wdding, Karen and malcolm came and i got a very posh coffee maker but Karen never fails with the nice stuff.
