[Oe List ...] Passing of Sydney guardian Ted Yallop

[Otto, Ken]

John and Elaine,
Thanks so much for sharing this news.  I remember Ted in Oombulgurri
when he came for a week.  I remember his stories of fighting bush fires
in New South Wales I think was the state, how the fire would take nearly
all of the oxygen from the fire fighters.  And to Robert my condolences.
Its so amazing how these strong ties are so present in our lives today.
All the best
Your collegue
Ken Otto

Subject: [Oe List ...] Passing of Sydney guardian Ted Yallop


Dear Colleagues
I just want to let you know of the passing of Ted Yallop, father of
Robert, who was a guardian of the movement in Sydney.

He was a gentle, generous man who was a true colleague over many years
to those who were assigned to the Sydney House. He and Neta were a great
couple, real stalwarts of family life which stretched out to include
colleagues of the Order Ecumenical. Neta is still going strong.

We attended his funeral service last Wednesday when the church
overflowed with people from the Campsie community who wanted to
celebrate his contribution to their community through many
organisations.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Neta, to Robert and his family, and
to Robert's brothers and their families as we celebrate Ted's life with
them.

Grace & Peace

John Telford
