Tony Huggins was a long time resident of Barbican and a loyal supporter of the Residents Association and the Barbican Clubroom. He enjoyed many friends here and was a keen member of the Ward Club too. Anthony G L Huggins was at once a very sociable and friendly neighbour yet an intensely private man. He rarely talked about his time in the RAF but his friends always felt that he saw a great deal of action. He was a fighter pilot during the Battle of Britain and left the service with the rank of Squadron Leader...... Little more is known..... That was typical of Tony Huggins. He worked for many years with the Civil Aviation Authority and on retirement decided to remain living in Barbican. He had many interests of which photography was probably the most enduring. He died in 1989 following a hard time with lung cancer including several operations all of which were unsuccessful in arresting the disease. His cheerfulness and courage in the face of the inevitable will long be remembered by those of us fortunate to have been his friends. His sister survives him.... (SAC) |
