Tony Wilson the founder and former head honcho of Factory Records has sadly died. He will be remembered for a great many things, including the work with Joy Division and New Order as well as founding and creating a successful independent record label on which many have based their own businesses.

Many eulogies and tributes have been written and said of Tony, and I will leave it to them to show how great and influential a person he was.
