Our deepest condolences to Fran and family.
Ted was once part of our team, driving our trucks, and he was truly one in a million. He had such a warm, happy go lucky nature and a wonderful way of bringing laughter and lightness wherever he went. Ted was a real character, always ready to have a go at solving any problem, and nothing ever seemed to trouble him for long.
We have many fond memories of Ted, his stories, his humour and the good company he shared with everyone around him. We feel very fortunate to have known him and to have had him as part of our team. He will be remembered with great affection, always with a smile, and he will be deeply missed.
Scott, Lucy and the team at Richardson’s Liquid Waste & Water Cartage
