Adored Great ‘Pa’ to Aaron, Saana, Charlie, Jackson, Madie, Zarah, Oliver, Jon and Isabelle.

Great family friend of my grandmother and grandfather over so many years and so many great memories of a wonderful, charming man with an infectious sense of humour. Will be sadly missed not just by his family but long standing friends from all walks of life. Sleep peacefully my friend.
Thanks Graeme,
Appreciate your comments and visits during Dad’s stay in hospital. Service was very uplifting for family and a great tribute to Dad’s life (and personality)
Regards

Our lives will definitely not be the same without Uncle Teddy’s stories – embellished, embroidered. added to with each successive telling. His memories of his early life growing up with all his many siblings has surely become the rich folklore of the huge extended family. He was such a loved and important member of the Williams family and we are so happy that he introduced dear Aunty Pauline into its embrace so many years ago. We will all mourn him together. Love to all the family. xxx Marjorie and Ian Schultz and family.
Thanks Marjorie,
We missed you and Ian today, but the Williams clan was well represented
Dear Ted, A long term dear friend who we first met in 1975 at the Ebden Caravan park, prior to us all settling in Wodonga. We so loved our card nights when we paired and laughed so much and were so distracted byTed’s humour, and when Ted & I still won, how annoyed were our partners! And our house boat trip along the Murray River – one of the most enjoyable and fun filled holidays, made more so by Ted’s fun filled spirit,smiles & laughter.
Ted & Pauline as partners in marriage, were a couple to look up to. They loved their family and friends with openness, warmth and a generous spirit.
Ted, you will be greatly missed. We remember you with much affection & fondness. Rest Peacefully Dearest Ted.
From, Lyn & John Nichols (now of Q’ld) and their sons Darren (Chiltern) & Jason Ash.(Brisbane)
