Tony Baker

The Advertiser: We have lost one of our best :

"He once wrote of himself: 'Thirty-five years of writing for money have given me champagne by the bucket, tubs of caviar, the softest beds in the best hotels and the company of people who have left me jack-knifed with laughter.'"

I am very sorry to hear Tony Baker, one of our best journalists, has lost the battle against cancer at the age of 66. He was always a good read and a great personality. His family will miss him, I am certain, but I think we'll realise wwe've lost someone special too.
