Tony's Tributes

to Dear Tony

I was absolutely devastated to hear that Tony Hart has died. I loved his programmes so much, and his attitude to things. He appeared to me as a genuine, sympathetic, caring person to whom I could relate. I know how he felt after his strokes. I have had several and had to give up all my dance, and have to be content to watch, when what I really want is to DO. We will all miss him. To his wife I offer my condolences. ps I wonder if he was at Maidstone College of Art when I was there? We are about my age.

Tony was the kind of man I wanted for a father.

As a child in the 80's his programmes were a source of inspiration to me. I was always drawing and painting, discovering different materials and experimenting with light and shade.
He had such a lovely way of demonstrationg creativity and you had the sense that this was something everyone could achieve, he gave you that kind of quiet confidence.

Now that I'm a mother I encourage my children with their creativity because that's how Tony taught me.

Bright blessings to you Tony and to your family,
Mrs D Blair

I used to love Tony Hart's shows even though my art skills were non-existent. Along with people such as Johnny Ball, Tony Hart showed tremendous enthusiasm for his subject. I hope that future children have models such as him. I suppose at least poor Mr Bennett's life will now be easier.

A true legend

Tony Hart was an amazing man and a massive part of my childhood. I remember watching his shows and pestering my mum to get me the bits and pieces to make all kinds of things. We've just been getting my 5 year old nephew into art and got him a build your own morph kit but it's so sad that he'll grow up not know how amazing a man Mr. Hart was

He'll be remembered by so so many people and it's his inspritational qualities that will ensure he lives forever in the hearts, minds and, possibly more importantly, in the art work of generations to come.

A Great Inspiration

Tony was a great influence in both mine and my brothers lives and his programmes helped in encouraging us with our education.

You will always be in my thoughts and prayers! Thanks for all what you showed us through our lives with your shows!

And Thanks for bringing us Walace and Gromit! Class cartooning! Just sheer brilliance

RIP
