My family had the very incredible privilege of knowing your father ( and your mother) at Longworth. My parents, Jean and Russ Allison, were good friends and through them I met one of the most amazing and kind men I have ever had the chance to meet. I adored Ted………and know how much care and friendship he brought to my parents and this extended to our family also. My two youngest daughters spent many times visiting their grandparents at Westmount and no visit was complete without seeing Ted and Helen. He will be so missed and I am so glad that last weekend I has able to have a wonderful heartfelt hug from Ted………..our family will miss him terribly. Our heartfelt feelings to all…..
I want to pass along my sincerest sympathies for the passing of Uncle Ted. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to Ted’s family. I first met Ted when I joined the Tuscan 195; he was a model of what every Mason should aspire to and will be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing him.
We wish to extend our sincere sympathy to the Peters Family. Ted will be fondly remembered as someone who embraced challenges and was always willing to impart sage advice. He loved his Masonic and affiliations and was instrumental in introducing Michael into the Fraternity. We also had the privilege of getting to know Ted & Helen through St. Aidan’s Church, where they were very active. We know he will be missed by many.
Uncle Ted ……
There is so much to say about how you have played a large role in my younger years and touched the heart of many. You were the spokes person, story teller and always had a joke. You will be very missed …….. Love always, Jo-Ann, Dan and family
Dear Lauren and Family,

Ted presided over my wifes funeral at Longworth in 2011.
Ted helped me a lot & was a very inspirational man. He will be up in God’s paradise happy & healthy. How can we be sad knowing our loved ones are in God’s garden. Ted will be missed!
I met Ted at Longworth where my father Malcolm resided. Ted always had a smile and a hug for me. He impressed me as a loving, kind and truly sweet man who will be missed by all whose lives he touched. May you rest in peace Ted. My condolences to your family and friends who will dearly miss you.
It is with a heavy heart that we pass along our sincere condolences on the
passing of Mr. Peters.
While visiting Tonys’ father at
Longworth Long Term Care now Wonderland Gardens. We
were so surprised to see Mr. Peters
sitting there with his arm around
Mrs. Peters and his big smile. He immediately got up and came over
to give us a hug. It had been 36 years
since working for Mr. Peters as his
administrative assistant and it was
wonderful to catch up with him.
We now live in Texas and return every
six weeks to visit Tony’s Dad and
look forward to seeing him each time.
We were happy when we learned he had
moved into Wonderland Gardens as well.
We missed seeing him on our last visit.
He was a loving, kind man and adored
his wife and children. He will be missed
by many at the home and we will
certainly miss his hugs and his
warm smile.
Hello there, I am very sorry to hear that Uncle Ted passed away, he was a very charismatic and sweet man. I enjoyed every visit I was able to have with him, the last one was at my gramma’s service in Mississauga. Len, Lynn and myself only heard of his passing today, we were very shocked. We sent a bouquet to the funeral home in Uncle Ted’s memory. We send our condolences to Aunt Helen, Steve, Julie, and Lauren, so sorry gor your loss.

Being away from home we did not learn until 2 days ago of Ted’s passing.
We knew Ted as a wonderful, loving husband to Helen to the end, and an exemplary Christian. We have many happy memories of him. We will be sadly missed.
We thank God for his life, and send our deepest condolences to his family.
Mary and Graham Chance and family.
