Tony was a man who loved animals & when we were young we always knew where to find him. He would be
found in The Big Cat House at London Zoo! Fascinated & intrigued watching the Lions, Tigers, Pumas &
Leopards. How ironic, he himself later in life would spend so much time caged behind bars. There
were no easy days for Tony in prison, being one of the notorious Kray Firm, but he walked tall & got
through his 15 years sentence like a man. As we grew up together, us five brothers, he was always
the one deep in thought & we never quite knew what he was thinking, however he had a wicked sense
of humour! Later in life he was to 'walk amongst the Big Cats of the criminal world' He was a TRUE
& LOYAL friend to many.
Having put prison behind him, Tony moved on easier than most who had been incarcerated for such a
lengthy period of time. The dreams Tony held on to whilst in prison were to become a reality. Tony
met his lovely partner Wendy & together they enjoyed many trips abroad on safari & a trip to Las
Vegas. One of Tony's biggest dreams was to visit Graceland the home of his idol Elvis, a dream he
fulfilled with Wendy. Wendy was Tony's constant companion & he always spoke lovingly of 'My Wendy'
Tony's marriage to Pat sadly ended after he was released. Pat was Tony's rock, through the whole 15
years Pat waited for Tony, she never turned & walked away & it has to be said Pat was an 'absolute
diamond'. Pat brought up their two children & travelled the country to visit Tony, he was quite
simply the love of her life. Tony & Pat had two children Karen the eldest & David. Being the first
grandchild Karen was adored by Tony's mother & father & was the apple of both Grandma & Grandad
Lambrianou's eyes! Karen has a son called Adem who is Tony's only grandchild.
Tony was a very lucky man to have two very lovely ladies, Pat & Wendy in his life.
Tony along with other chaps raised a great deal of money for children's charities, often travelling
all over the U.K to do so. He alway gave freely of his time. Tony was very charasmatic! As soon as
he walked into a room those there would be drawn to him instantly! Tony made many T.V appearances &
consequently was much sought after, having written a best seller 'Inside The Firm'
Tony was a real people person, he always enjoyed a party & good company. He was an avid Spurs fan &
was proud of his East End roots. He was committed to Wendy & together they made their home in Kent.
Tony & Wendy enjoyed many a party & to relax they walked their Boxer dog Guy of whom Tony was very
fond of. When Tony passed away Guy was found at Tony's side & Guy quite simply would not leave
Tony's side.
Tony's call to 'Come Home' came as something of a shock to all those who both loved & knew him. We
all thought he'de go on forever. 'He was one who went to soon' yet somehow, I still feel when I go
out to a function he's going to be there, as large as life with a smile on his face & a drink in his
hand, surrounded by people eager to talk to him. Tony's sad passing has left a huge void within our
family which can never be filled. It is testement to Tony, that on the day of his funeral many
hundreds of mourners came to pay their respects to......
"A GENTLEMAN that is TONY LAMBRIANOU"
"A GOOD MAN"
"SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE TONE"
"GREATLY MISSED"
On behalf of Tony's family & friends the candles lit & the kind words left bring so much comfort...
Thank You & God Bless xxx

HELLO MY FRIEND:
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see
the farmer and his wife open a package.
What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he
was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the
warning.
There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a
mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and
said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern
to you, but it is of no consequence to me.
I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a
mousetrap in the
house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry,
Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but
pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a
mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the
house!"
The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but
it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and
dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house
-- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In
the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake
whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her
to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken
soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard
for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and
neighbors came to sit with
her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer
butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many
people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow
slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the
wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem
and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one
of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
We are all involved in this journey called life. We
must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra
effort to encourage one another.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend. Thank you
to all the kind peaple,who have left messages
God Bless you all.

He Ain't Heavy He My Brother--The Hollies
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
tony. nicky. leon.
well missed,
every road leads somewhere,
me, i am on the road to a place called,
find out.
love you all.

Do not shed tears when I have gone but smile instead because I have lived. Do not shut your eyes and pray to God that I'll come back but open your eyes and see all that I have left behind. I know your heart will be empty because you cannot see me but still I want you to be full of the love we shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live only for yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of what happened between us yesterday. You can remember me and grieve that I have gone or you can cherish my memory and let it live on. You can cry and lose yourself, become distraught and turn your back on the world or you can do what I want - smile, wipe away the tears, learn to love again and go on.

Uncle Tony
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
Lots of love
Kidder and Holly

the wind in my hair
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.God speed,YOUR BROTHER.CHRIS.
The time has come to say goodnight,
For every road must end,
To the ones who care and their always there,
Our very special absent friends.
Lets say goodnight to those we love,
And maybe shed a tear,
But before we close think of those,
We love who can't be here.
Let's raise a glass to absent friends,
For every road must end,
You'll always be there in our hearts,
Our special absent friends.
And when it's time for us to go,
And our long journey ends,
We'll never be alone you see,
We'll be absent friends.
So, Let's raise a glass to absent friends,
For every road must end,
You'll always be there in our hearts,
Our special absent friends
to real man a gentelman
never knew you tony but when i was younger and in young offenders i read your book and it highlighted the cost of pay the ultimate price for being on the wrong side of the law,15 years in prison.I got my act together and now am a family man ,married 4 kids n a good job.As you said in your book live by the sword ,die by the sword ,but you were a much better man.Also read your brother chris s book and he went through much the same in prison as i did torn between two loyaltys.I hope anybody who wants to be a hardman reads both your stories as theyre true and inspirational about the eventual outcome.Rest in peace tony ,your passing is a waste of things you couldve taught youngsters today .god bless
Little bruv, haven't forgot you! How could I do that? You're in my heart and your spirit is in my spirit and you live in this world because I live in this world and your presence is ever near. Charlie told me he had seen three angels at the foot of his bed and I told him it was you Lee and Nicky looking out for him, God Bless, Chris.
