GRIBBEN Tony, January 5, 2025 Antrim Area Hospital. Beloved son of the late Claire and Larry, brother to Fiona, Anna, Laura and Niall. Dad to Snowy. Creator of ‘Coochie Face’. Artist and poet.

All who knew Tony loved him and he them. Tony was a gentle, caring man filled with love and a passion for life. Here I go out to sea again, the sunshine fills my hair and dreams hang in the air. Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye, you know it feels unfair, there’s magic everywhere. Look at me standing here on my own again. Up straight in the sunshine. No need to run and hide, it’s a wonderful, wonderful life. No need to laugh and cry, it’s a wonderful, wonderful life.
