I have known Ted for many years through my friendship with his son Rowan and his love of cycling. But Ted was more than just Rowan's dad he was a friend in himself, someone I've spent time with sinking a few pints as one of is favourite pastimes. Ted was one of those people who if you saw whilst out on your bike you didn't just acknowledge him but pulled over and spent 10 minutes with him at the side of the road whilst he engaged you with one of his stories. Ted Smart a true gentleman of the road.
But its the letters within his name that best describe him;
T: tenacious in his approach to life
E: egalitarian in his belief of equality in society formed from his time in the
mining industry
D: Devoted to his family and friends
Ted Smart RIP
