What was your friendship or relationship like with Tony?
Did Tony kind of take you under his wing when, I guess, like going out and doing that sort of stuff as you moved into adulthood?
Did you ever go night clubbing with him?
In the early 90s, two clubs dominated the Perth nightclub scene, Pinocchio's and Rumours.
They were opposite each other on Murray Street in Perth CBD.
What do you remember about him when he was in his early 20s?
In his 20s, when he wasn't on the dance floor, Tony was living in a beachside suburb of Perth with a company car and a good salary, working a nine-to-five job for a major supermarket.
But when Tony was in his late 20s, that all changed.
As we know, in 1996, Tony left a long-term relationship, quit his well-paying job, and he also gave away a lot of his possessions.
What did you make of that when that was all, when he, I guess, started to change in that way?
What was the kind of gist of, like, the theme of what they were talking about?
It's hard to pin down dates with Joe, but by 1999, Tony's life became pretty nomadic.
He left Perth and travelled around Australia.
In 2002, Tony was back in Perth and, as we know, had moved into a house in Floriate with Simon Cadwill and Chantelle McDougall.
Joe vividly remembers going to check out Tony's new place and meeting Simon.
Do you remember when you went inside?
