Tony Morris Granada
Granada presenter, Tony Morris, died over the weekend.
He was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year and was still presenting a few weeks ago.
He and Lucy were a good double act during the teatime show

Re: Tony Morris Granada
What a strong brave guy carrying on presenting without showing the trouble he was going through. Consummate professional to the end , respect.
He was one of those people with a Cheshire cat smile that would make others want to smile.

Re: Tony Morris Granada
R. I. P Tony.
Came across as a likeable man and was very good at his job.
Reading his obituary, he didn't always have things easy in his early years.
Far too young to have left us.

Re: Tony Morris Granada
Certainly is a shock. He was an incredible presenter with a very dry sense of humour. He would mention now and again that he was a Portsmouth fan.

RIP Tony Morris, a great presenter and very likeable chap. Used to see him walking around Clowbridge Res now and again.

RIP Tony. Came across as very genuine and modest. My housebound dad who was hard of hearing used to look forward to his spot I think partly because his voice and diction were so clear.

R.I.P. Tony.. A great presenter and a fellow Pompey fan.. Will be sadly missed on Granada News.
A great tribute to him now on Granada.

Re: Tony Morris Granada
A smile that really did light up the television screen.
What a lovely tribute on Granada Reports tonight.
Very moving.
RIP Tony
Must have been extreamely hard for Lucy to do that report tonight, she held it well right to the end.
Not ashamed to say even I started welling up at the end when she went.

Re: Tony Morris Granada
Very sad news. I had the pleasure of knowing Tony after teaching him guitar for a few years. He was an absolute gentleman and although he was a Pompey fan, he always spoke very highly of the Clarets. I would often bump into him in Haslingden Tesco and kept in touch through messages. I hadn't heard from him or seen him for a while but I didn't know he'd been ill so it was a bit of a shock receiving this news today.
Re: Tony Morris Granada
Very tall very likeable bloke. Lived in Rammy. What a shame. So young.

Re: Tony Morris Granada
Like others, shocked to read this; a cracking reporter who always had a smile, taken far too young. Rest in Peace.
