Antonne Luovef Williamson

Antonne Luovef "Tones" Williamson Age 44 Years of 
#13 Winnfred Avenue, Freddie Munnings Estates completed 
his final operations at the Princess Margaret Hospital on Tuesday, June 24, 2014.

"Tones" was born at Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas on Sunday, May 17, 1970. 
He was the second son and sixth child.

As his name depicts, he was a priceless and flourishing flower 
with very gifted hands. Fortunately for him, his gift was a useful 
tool; as he grew up in the era when young boys made their toys 
to play with. He, his siblings, cousins and friends in the neighbourhood 
waited with baited breath for the various seasons to come around for each 
to make or purchased-to-customized their toys. Toys such as: tops, sling shots, 
marbles, wooden scooters, skates, kites, skate boards, bikes, etc.  
Tones as he was affectionately called, was one of the best in 
all the games he played, as he had a competitive spirit and 
one who enjoyed his child hood immensely.

Tones grew up in a Christian home and going to church was 
not an option. And it was not only going to church but gathering 
around the family table for devotions and prayer during week 
nights and Sunday mornings at 5:00am. Tones always had a 
fear of God and never believed in playing with Him.

Tones early education began at Palmdale and Yellow Elder 
Primary Schools. Later, he attended S. C. McPherson Junior 
High and graduated from A. F. Adderley Senior High School. 
His gifted hands also had an artistic flair and as a youth he 
loved creating art work.

While in high school, Tones first job was selling newspaper. 
He would get up early in the morning to purchase the papers 
and hit the streets. It was on one occasion while selling newspapers; 
he met a man by the name of Mr. Johnson who offered him 
a chance to learn a trade. He embraced the opportunity and 
was taught the trade of operating heavy equipment. Mr. Johnson 
was so impressed with his skills and his ability to learn the job 
quickly that soon, he became an invaluable employee. 
Tones worked with Mr. Johnson for a number of years and 
then sought employment with his uncle at Sea N Ski Water 
Sports, where he learned to operate all motorized and 
non-motorized water sports equipment. When business 
became slow, he sought employment again in the heavy 
equipment field with Spinello Company. After the Company's 
contract ended, he realized his love for the water and this 
passion drew him back. He sought employment at Premier 
Operators where he worked for the past twenty years. It was 
on this job where his skills were further enhanced as he and 
his friend Jason exchanged trade. He, teaching Jason about 
water sports and Jason taught him Marine Mechanic. 
He loved his job and colleagues and this relationship lasted until his demise.

In 1997, Cupid's arrow struck his heart when he met Samantha McPhee 
at his sister's Beauty Salon. His sister Betty, sped up the process by giving 
Tones, Sam's number and that was the beginning of true love. 
Wedding bells ran out on Monday, June 04, 2001 and Tones vowed his 
unfailing love for Sam. This love affair has stood the test of time as they 
were not only lovers, but best friends and confidant. Sam was truly the 
love of his life and they are the proud parents of two sons.
