It is with deep sadness that we report the passing of one of the home’s great characters.

Ted Sys was born in Poland prior to the second world war.

He had a cheeky personality and was loved by staff and residents alike.

Ted’s love of bananas intensified when the staff purchased a banana hat for Christmas which he wore with great pride around the home.

Ted, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten by all your friends at Hendra House.
