So sorry to hear of the passing of our dear Uncle Ted. He was always encouraging and sincere to us all through the years. He will be sorely missed. We pray for Aunt Helen and the whole family during this grieving time.

Uncle Ted would hug me like a big teddy bear. He is drinking his favorite beer in heaven. He would always tell us that we are beautiful girls!! We will miss him deeply and pray for aunt Helen and her family, every night.

I'm very sorry to hear of Uncle Ted's passing. I had decided long ago that I would try very hard to be present at his funeral, but unfortunately I did not find out about it in time to make arrangements. My heart is heavy that I can't be there to say goodbye. He was kind and funny and always made me feel loved and not forgotten. I will miss him dearly.
Love,
Joy Kolodziej-Guill

Our sympathy and prayers are with your family during this time of loss and sorrow. Although we had not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ted Plata, we have experienced his essence through knowing Terry and Renee Plata and know that our lives have therefore been enriched by Ted's heritage. May God embrace each of you and provide you with His strength, peace and power to help you get through the coming days. God bless you all!

Sorry to hear of Ted's passing. We worked together many years at Squire Cogswell. My daughter still works there. There are not many of the old group left. My condolences to your family.
