It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Tony Willmott, after a 3 year battle against throat cancer.
Tony is one of a very select few who worked here for more than 50 years. He joined our firm in 1970 and became a Partner in 2006. He worked here until his health troubles meant he had to focus on his treatment. So he really did give his long working life to the firm.
A conventional retirement for Tony would never have worked – he wanted to carry on solving problems, be they façade related, or any other aspect that he could get involved in! I am pleased to say that solving problems was one of the things he loved doing. The term ‘Willmottised’ became popular both at work and at his home!
He died peacefully at home on Sunday 10 October.
For those who knew Tony and wish to attend his funeral, it will be at 15.00 on Monday 25 October at Forest Park Crematorium, Hainault, IG6 3HP.
Sandberg will be making donations to St Francis Hospice and MacMillan Cancer Support, both of whom were brilliant in looking after Tony and Mary.
Finally, if anyone wanted to send flowers, please send them to Woodford Green Funeral Directors, 354 High Road, Woodford Green, Essex, IG80XQ.
