Hello Theo,

It's just about 10 years now since you went my friend. I still miss you and your wonderful ways ever so dearly. Sorry we can't play billiards these days too. - Peter Alexander

Theo, my cousin and friend. I hope that wherever you have found yourself, the vintages are good ones. A final 'Cheers' to you. Rest easily. After such a rich and full life, you deserve it.

Dear "Uncle" Theo. As a child you were a favourite part of visiting Hamilton. Whenever you spoke to us it seemed like something exciting was about to take place.
With love and affection from the Towers family.

Our sincere condolences to the family, acknowledging Theo's rich and varied life. We have known Theo for a long time (Clemency from about 1964, as a child at her grandparents' parties, David from about 1980 as a new lecturer). Along with many others, we shall miss him greatly.
