He must have been a wonderful man! I am so sorry for you loss and pray for God’s blessings and comfort for you all in this most difficult time.
I met Ted as the Appliance Dr & went to church with his sweet wife Colleen many years ago. Ted was the sweetest , & most giving person. Many a time he would come & fix my things & not charge me or only charge for the parts. We would always have the best chats about life in general , family & such. He was a great friend to many. I will certainly miss his easy smile & genuine concern for people. God bless his family at this difficult time.
