It is with deep sadness that we advise that Anthony Stokes passed away on Tuesday 11th of February after a short period of illness.
Anthony is survived by his wife Barbara, his two sons Lluna and Ian, as well as two beloved granddaughters.
Anthony Stokes began his working life as a Professional Engineer, working for various companies including a Swedish based multinational firm, before coming into the family business of Customs Broking in the 1980's.
He followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps to obtain his Customs Broker's licence and to take over the ownership and management of C. Stokes &. Co, now STOKES and BELL Pty Ltd.
Amongst Anthony's passions was to be of help to others in life. He was an active Rotary International member.
Anthony and his wife Barbara travelled extensively through their lives, both for pleasure as well as business and industry related conferences.
They combined these passions by travelling overseas on Rotary Assist missions to places in South East Asia to assist those in need in those countries.
Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Barbara, his family, friends and colleagues.
