Ted's special personality will always be remembered by his many friends and neighbours the Philp front porch will look strange this year without Ted on his special chair, feet on the railing with papers, a cigarette and budgie, O'Malley.

Walk Slowly If you should go before me, dear, walk slowly Down the ways of death, well-worn and wide, For I would want to overtake you quickly And seek the journey's ending by your side. I would be so forlorn not to see you Down some shining highroad when I came; Walk slowly, dear and often look behind you And pause to hear if someone calls your name.
