Ted O'Dwyer sadly left this world in December 2009.  He was much loved and had many friends at T A F N, and we would like to extend our sincerest condolences to all of his family and friends.

Inside the crematorium - it was absolutely packed and there were barely enough seats. Rousing speeches were given in memory of Ted, including a very moving one from his Nephew Andrew.

Photo of the people gathered outside the crematorium after the service. Despite it being a very chilly winter's day there were around 100 people in attendance. Many people were blind, and several white sticks and guide dogs could be seen!
