Surrounded by the love of his family, Tony peacefully went to the Lord, on Saturday, October 21st, 2023, at Michael Garron Hospital, just shy of his 91st birthday.
Tony will be deeply missed by his beloved wife, Carmen, his adoring daughter, Genevieve (Stephen), and his three precious grandchildren, Jacob, Troy, and Adam.

He was a darling son to the late Sebastian and late Feliciana Martins and dear brother to the late Manuel Martins (late Cecilia) and late Philomena Noronha (late Bento) and loving brother-in-law to the late Tiburcio (late Teresa). Tony was cherished by all his nieces and nephews and treasured by his friends across the globe.
