I am so sad to hear of Edward’s, or as I knew him ‘Uncle Ted’s’, passing. And I am so sorry for your loss.
I have such fond memories of growing up living next door to the Johnstons. They were a lovely fun family, we had such adventures together. Ted was always full of life with a project in mind…some of which I believe were never finished but they were amazing ideas. He always seemed cheerful and loved to engage in conversation, often about his many trips to Sweden. I still have a fantastic cheese slice, now probably 50 years old, brought back as a present. He was extremely kind and generous.
Ted obviously adored his family and always did his best for them. They were not the easiest of times, money was short for everyone, it seemed, but they were made wonderful by friends like the Johnstons.
I hadn’t seen Ted for so many years but in the recent photos he looks just as I remember him, just a little older. My memories of him and those times are clear and precious.
Rest in peace Ted, you will be so missed.
With love Jane.
