We were so very saddened when we read of Ted's passing. As a neighbor, we were always inspired to see him out in his yard mowing or arriving home from a game of golf, knowing of all the health issues he had endured.
When he and Nancy returned home and our dogs in the backyard would bark at him- he would return their greeting with his own, "little bark." It was amusing to hear that.
He was a very well loved and respected neighbor, friend and gentleman and he will be sorely missed by Jack and I.
Best wishes to you Nancy and all his loved ones.

"May you always remember the happy moments you shared with Ted"

Love to you all, Doug and Jack

My prayers are with all of the relatives and friends of Ted Flo. His Dad and Mom Flo and Ted and Van are in my memory way back to when I was 4. My Mom taught Sabbath School there and then lots of times we would go next door and eat with these lovely people.
I pray God will be real close to all of you and you will feel his love and support during this hard time.
