We are both so upset to learn of Ted's passing. Such a great bloke, always had a cheeky smile...especially with a big carp on his line! Don't have a bad word to say, he taught me alot in all the years i have known him, extremely saddened. Love to the family...tight lines forever Ted x

I have such lovely memories of you, sea fishing, carping in France and my house build - I think of you every time I see your masterpiece of heating pipework in the loft and the fact that in the bathroom you put in a hot water pipe that warms the users feet on route to the toilet, always makes me smile in the winter (genius). I always appreciated your Fishing, building and life knowledge that you shared with me over the years - RIP Ted.
