Condolences
It is often hard to find the right words at a time like this. May you find peace, comfort, and love with the memories you have of Ted. You have our deepest sympathy and unwavering support. Fondest love, Roy and Daphne
It is with great sadness that we learned of Ted passing away. Ted for over 15 years was a most inspiring reference in our discussion group bringing into it his reputed erudition and scholarship and thus raising the standard of debates to a level that challenged all of us to exceed our potential much as if we were a prolongation of his prodigious academic life. He was such a gentleman as well. We are sure that original members of the Filos, now deceased, Mick McGarry, Fred Miles and Andrew Grindlay as well as former members John Burton and Mike Whitaker would have expressed the same sentiment.
Our condolences go to his so accomplished family.

Dear Mrs Swart, Joy, Fizzy, Nicholas, Rosie, and extended families. Sending my deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear husband and father. My memories of Mr Swart go back to Alex Park days when, at the age of 8, Fizzy became my first special childhood friend. I remember a very gentle, soft-spoken man with such a kind, open face, and marvelling at the striking resemblance between him and Fizzy. I also remember being fascinated with those old computer punch cards that we’d play with, and thinking how smart he must be 🙂
You’re all in my thoughts, sending my love across the miles, and wishing you much comfort and strength during this very sad time.

Sorry to read of your loss Rosalie, Bodo and family.
I have just stumbled across this in my search for what had happened to Ted, as he and I have been corresponding about our family genealogy for many years , and our conversation had dried up. Please accept my sincere condolences for your sad loss. Even though our paths crossed many times in South Africa, we unfortunately never met, but our digital relationship was insightful and enjoyable. I will remember Ted with great affection and will miss our joint efforts to understand more about our heritage – hopefully this can continue with your children, if they want to continue with his work.
Thank you, Ted, for enriching my life. It was a privilege to have known you.
