For Bud

A Father A Son A Grandfather too gone into the great cinematic blue his work in the arts a wonder worth seeing A true Aussie hero loved with agreement It’s just from when I was quite small his face was there in the wall the telly at night my constant friend Bud was with me till the very end he enriched all our lives with his story and pictures imagine if we’d missed all of his richness his smooth deep voice so gentle and kind always put me in a good frame of mind He fought in the war with much pride he hurt in the last years deep inside the stories they ripped a hole in his chest the memories of war in his heart like a crest I know this from reading and watching the box I remember folding clothes drying tears with some socks the theater his forte his voice rang out with cheers of joy and claps and shouts So Bud take a last bow Its time to rest you more than passed all life’s tests Your memory lives on for here and all time In our hearts and in our minds … Bud Tingwall was an Australian film and television Actor he featured in pictures in the U.K. .. U.S.A .. and here .. he was a much loved aussie legend he passed away last friday this is a tribute to him .. never had the pleasure of meeting him but loved him none the less ... J
